hello, i'm fitting new high strength cylinder studs for my engine as the original ones have stretched, and was wondering what torque setting would you recomend as i have also fitted a 895cc big bore kit and have read elsewhere on this website that oil leaks are common with this type of kit, so higher torque levels are needed to to prevent the leaks.
thanks for any help.

With reinforced studs, I would give them 25-30% more torque, i.e. 25-26Nm or 18-19.f lbf-ft. Just make sure the threads in the case are all ok, it's a good idea to loctite the new studs in.

Thanks for the info, the worst thing about doing work on your bike is waiting for the parts to arrive!
