  • Cylinder Exchange installation

    Just received my new cylinder exchange kit from SBT, fast shipping, thanks!

    Do you have any specific installation info like, head and cylinder torque specs, gasket prep, gasket adhesive or sealer recommendations on the cylinder and head gasket?

    Thanks,

    Bill

      You need to get a service manual, there is a lot you need to know if you are building your engine yourself. I don't have all the specs here at home but can look them up Monday.

        Any luck finding the torque specs on the cylinder and head for the kawa 900 stx? Also should the metal head gasket be coated with any type of sealer?

        Thanks....

              Thanks for your reply with the torque specs.

              When I pulled the head off this motor it appeared the metal head gasket had been coated with some type of sealer. This was an SBT rebuilt motor from a couple of years ago so I have to assume when SBT rebuilds them a coating of some type is put on the head gasket. Please advise on whether any type of sealer is required on the metal head gasket.

              Thanks!

                We use Permatex Copper Gasket Treatment as an extra measure, yes.
