Thread: cam bolt socket size

Need to pick up a socket for the cam bolt is it a 28mm need to know asap

I used an adjustable wrench.

I just threw away my original cam bolt so I cant tell you 100%.. but crank is 21mm and the cam is a few sizes bigger like 24mm, I think I ended up using a 1 or 1 1/16 socket that fit good enough.

WHAT? How the hell did you torque it?

torquing stuff is not always needed. tight is all it needs to be. a dab of loctight goes a long way.

A dab of locktite and pulled really hard on the wrench lol

I use a 1 1/16 that I had laying around from something else. Convert it if you want the exact size.

I tried torquing that bolt to spec. Had a buddy standing on the engine stand. I lifted him, the stand and the motor up onto two wheels. Now I zap it with the air gun. Fuggintight works great, that's the actual spec.
