some assembly questions on xf 700 BB 800 kit
appreciate the help
should the piston pin circlip opening face up or down?
assemble with the apv oil?
antiseize on the cylinder and head bolts?
torque #'s for cylinder, head, exhaust?
any particular tightening pattern or just vary diagonally?
i was just going to clean all the parts with brak clean
i've read to lightly grease the o rings and/or stick in the fridge for awhile before installing.
there seems to be two schools of thought on piston/cylinder assembly. one is to install the piston on the rod then the cylinder and the other is to install piston into cylinder and then install onto rod. any input or tricks on easiest way to do this? i may have some help from someone with zero mech skills (my wife) so just looking for best way to do this.
on disassembly there was not any kind of gasket sealer on the cylinder gasket so i'm assuming that's not needed.
the torque and tightening specs i could probably get from the local dealer but they're kinda a pia to deal with.
i've noticed on the forums that there are quite a few pinned posts on clutch removal, DD oil change, track change, etc. but nothing on disassembly/assembly. might be helpful to have something like that.
thanx in advance.
