putting a head on my bike need some advice.

ianBIKES · 06-19-2011, 09:52 PM

i have a 92 xj600 im putting the head on i got everything all ready to go but on the bottom of my head there are suppost to be 4 stud bolts and i only have 3 but theres other studs that hold the head down, so would it be ok to bolt the head down with that one missing stud and then screw one in later its suppost to be around 70 tomorrow and ive had my bike in my living room for 2 months now and i want to ride really bad.

also if i cant put it on with the 3 studs would it be ok to just put a bolt that fits in there just tourqe it to where it needs to be.

thanks

Go get the stud and do it right. That simple. Why try to cut some corner now in a major part of a rebuild?
