Turbo Bike Gang Bang


 
So, just about everyone I know that is not in Sturgis right now stopped by last night to help do the head stud swap.   I did bust one stud off in the case and after much drilling, grinding and fighting I was able to clean the hole out enough to heli-coil it and install the APE studs.  It ran pretty late so we didn't get it complete but it is close.     I did torque it down to 22 ft lbs vs. the original 15.7 to 16.2 that is called out for in the book so I think it will seal it up.  I also re-installed the cam and timed it late last night.  I just need to adjust the rockers and put the rest of the stuff back on. 
Having friends to help, made this a great way to spend a Sunday.
Thanks to:  Darrin the Kid,  Greg ( papa bear ),  Gaby ( The motorcycle princess) ,  Francesco,   Marcel,  Mini-b and even Jeff.
