Great clean work!

You really shouldn’t apply any lubricant to bolts before applying a torque spec unless directed to do so by the assembly manual. A dry torque (no lubricant) and a wet torque with lubricant will have a drastically different overall clamping force when set to the same torque setting on your tool. Due to less friction it is very easy to over tighten out of spec especially on smaller hardware. Torque test channel provides a very in depth video on this topic, definitely worth checking out. Your videos are great and I’m really enjoying the build series so far just thought I’d share that little tip for future projects 🤙🏼

+@stephenstiles8437 yes, thanks for keeping up with the series! 🍻

Zip ties around those rings on the camshaft helps save your fingers lol

+@stephenstiles8437 ooohhh… great idea!

Nice! Been waiting for this one. I think that last bolt was harder to torque because it's a valve cover bolt that only goes to 10Nm. FYI on mine I had the exhaust gear turned another notch forwards, as that way you can let the tensioner etc pull the gap to the middle as you set timing / tighten chain. Sucks if you run out of adjuster room, think mine moved just over half the adjustment range. Don't forget to take out the timing tool when you do the angle torque on the intake sword bolt; ask me how I know! Fortunately didn't break the cam, but deformed my timing tool. The reason those bolts fail on reuse is they are torque to yield one time use. Have fun with the sealant! Hope Jake has a better alternative to SI5900, that stuff is no fun to work with!

+@miketdavies ahhh… the bolt on the bridge/cam holder tool, yes! Good call. Yup, we know to take the locking tool off, thanks 😉🍻

Suggest soaking the lifters in warm 0w oil overnight.

+@schnellgelb1746 I like that, thanks!
