Does the thickness of the washers matter ? I can get the wavy washers locally.I would not recommend using schnoor washers - they will embed into the soft alloy, allow the bolts to loosen and leaks will result. Been there, seen that.
The factory <did not> use them on later bikes, but rather DIN 137B wave washers. I buy them from Belmetric, item no. WW8
Shouldn't. You will still have plenty of thread engagement.Does the thickness of the washers matter ? I can get the wavy washers locally.
Not all wave washers are created equal - the reason I specified DIN 137B is because they are thicker and stronger than your average "bought at Home Depot" wave washer.Does the thickness of the washers matter ? I can get the wavy washers locally.
Shouldn't be necessary. I do use a thin coating (smear) of chassis grease on many gaskets to hold them in place while securing. Once the housing is tightened down, and you have sealant in the lower two bolt holes you should be fine.Would it be a idea to use Honda bond on the rear main bearing gasket ?
