V7 Stone Head Torque

I am not sure, I never checked. Either way, I wrote a tutorial on doing the head torque for the pre-2013 models. You might find a good tip there.

Charlie,

I suggest you go to the downloads section and get the manual for the 2013. It will have the values you asked for and any other specifications you man need.

ACTUALLY it DOES NOT, as the 2012/ 2013+ manual for the 1TB models doesn't HAVE most of the engine assembly/repair procedures since they are deemed the same as the 2TB models therefore it is covered in the earlier 2TB V7C manuals. The new manual only covers what is "different" like the EFI components/throttle body, etc.

That manual is also in the download area. https://www.guzzitech.com/downloads/fi ... nual-09-12 Just takes a little looking for it.

Right, but the uninitiated might not know to look for the earlier one. ;)

They need to learn sometime. We did.

Right, but I was just pointing out that it would be more helpful to "learn them" directly by actually teaching them.

I.E. the reply would have been much more helpful if we said:

You can get the torque specs in the OEM manuals which can be downloaded (insert link).

Please keep in mind that Guzzi, like many European vehicle manufacturers doesn't come out with a new manual for each model year. They come out with an initial manual for a given platform, then publish supplements in later years when changes occur. As such MOST of the chassis and motor service information for the 1TB motors is actually found in the previous service manual for the V7C/Café/Racer 2TB models. An additional V7Stone/Special/Racer manual is available that covers the new EFI system and any other differences on the new 1TB models.

That's all I was saying...


ALTHOUGH, depending upon where BDCFE found that info he just published, there may be another piece of this puzzle, i.e. another supplement that I don't know about.
 
pretty sure the head torque values are in the 2013 Engine Manual, and they're different I believe. See pic.

Even the service manual isn't easy to interpret. Here's my take: The 2 large central nuts (#4 in the diagram) should be tightened first to 25 Nm (18.44 lb ft) and then snugged to 42 Nm (30.98 lb ft). The 2 lower column nuts (#5 in the diagram) should be tightened to 25 Nm (18.44 lb ft). The single, smaller upper nut (#6 in the diagram) should be tightened to 28 Nm (20.65 lb ft). On my 1000 km (628 mi ) servicing, I mistakenly tightened the lower column nuts to 42 Nm (30.98 lb ft). Nothing broke, but I'm not happy I did it.

That sounds about right. Yea I had to hunt to find these damn specs. So, when adjusting valve clearance, how exactly did you determine TDC?
