Torque specs.
I am thinking of removing my rear jug to replace the bad gaskets. I am confused on the exact torque specs of the bolts. Is there anything online or any known videos on reassembling the top end?
TIA

You will have several torque then the last one is turn the bolt 90 degrees. I use a gauge for the 90 degrees that Harley sells. You need to get the 90 degrees as close as possible or it will affect your torque.

My engine builder, who has world records at Bonneville, gave me his method. Use the torque pattern from Harley, go 10 lbs, 20 lbs, 25, 30, then 35. Let it rest for about a cig or about 5 min, then final torque to 38 lbs. Much more accurate than the 90* thing and easier to do.

Initial torque and then turn to a certain degree is by far the most accurate way to load a fastener. You torque the fastener to a low torque, where there is not a lot of friction. Then torque to a predetermined angle to put the proper load on the fastener.
We use this method on all fasteners that hold jet engine rotors together.
