I just reveived my water cooled 250R cylinder back from Ed at Triple E. He removed the studs when he bored the cylinder. Who uses threadlock on the studs and who just torques them to specs. Any thoughts?

What did Ed say?

You get porting too?

I thought I read some place on the TRX you can torque them because they have a head on them like the bottom of a bolt, I don't see where blue loctite would hurt anything other than having to fight it the next time you remove them

I just opened the box today so I'couldn't ask Ed and I'm putting it back together today. No porting on this one. It's for my kid and I just want to keep it stock. I guess I'll put a little thread lock on it and let Ed deal with it on the next bore. Hopefully it will be a few years from now.

Thanks Hoser.

by chance did any of the stub hole enter the water jackets. I though that the studs had a binding taper on them thus requireing to be torgued. Sorry if I'am mistaken been a while since did rebuild on one.
