tension bolt

I must be blind, but I don't see in the fsm where to check if tension bolts are in spec? Do most people replace them during a rebuild?

There is no "spec" (i.e. stretch length, et) for the tension bolts. Only replace the sealing washers. I don't know of anyone that replaces them as a matter of course during rebuilds.

BTW, just getting around to install you oil filler pipe last weekend with my own rebuild. Glad I got the GZ/Xcessive version... thanks!

nice! let me know how it goes. suggestion, use a long nose filler cup to fill the oil, so none manages to get its way onto the pcv/breather fittings
