The iron should be chased with a bottoming tap, and the tension bolt threads ran through a die.
A sponge soaked with 5W30 sitting on your assembly bench is an easy (and more importantly, clean) way to oil your tension bolts before installtion. Do not use thread locker. The tension bolts don't tend to loosen, but if you really want to be sure, paint a stripe on the head of each tension bolt and on the rear iron. If upon dissassembly, the lines don't line up, you know they have loosened.

I do have to correct myself... he/she lightly coat the threads with oil then hand tighten only finger... tighten properly the tension bolts in the proper order/sequence at a little at a time. This process should be done in about three steps to prevent any kind of warping and are to be torqued to 23 to 27 ft lbs, 3.2 to 3.8 m-kg, if you want to be exact...:icon_tup:

Actually, I woudn't even recommend doing that...
Those stat-o-seal washers are meant to seal coolant and oil from leaking out through the back under the tension bolt heads.
Retorquing the tension bolts could possible cause a leak.
It's safer NOT to touch them.

Can someone remove the"Rotary Mechanic" from his signature? Starting to understand why people are always in a pissed off mood on this forum.
