Great vid. So ya I'm one of the guys that screwed up in having way too much lube on my oem bolts. And I thought about that too while I was threading it in but kept going. Now I applied pressure with my hand on the head to hopefully have it seap less. But who knows. Now this motor was properly lubed and has sat for 6 months and still hasn't been fired. Do u think 6 months later this would still be an issue for running my heat cycles? Or u think everything would have squeezed out and be dried and sealed by now? It's a yfz450r. 5mm stroker. 520 b.b. 3 layer metal head gasket. I can't get it to turn through the compression stroke so I'm unable to start it anyway. But someday I'll figure it out or tow start it.
dont use oil on the thread of a head bolt the head of the bolt should be lubed where it contacts the headn and with grease not oil. Whe you put oil on the threads it can hydraulic the bolt and it wont torque properly and can also crack the block from hydraulicing. If you read service info from most any manufacture it will say to not lube the threads! Very few require the actual threads to be lubed but most people dont now that its the head of the bolt that needs to be lubed! Some manufactures actually say to not use any lube becaue they have it on the new bolts.
@@marcoshernandez9713 This is for any engine car, boat, bikes or what ever. I am not saying you do not lube the threads on any head bolts ever because some do require it, im not saying the info in this video is wrong, im just saying to read the manufactures procedure to avoid problems. Sometimes a thread sealant is recomended when bolts go into coolant jacket.
I purchased a raptor with the big 4 and low hours. Its smokes after a hard acceleration, its definitely oil. What is a common issue on the raptor? Or if the dealer that did the work did something wrong themselves. I already ordered valve seals and thought about just getting a rebuild kit. Whats the most compression I can do to stay reliable and 93 fuel
