Post by: 44fellow on April 16, 2014, 05:18:29 PM

Hi y'all,wondered if anyone can help me out with this one,my Haynes manual page 54 only gives the sequence for 7 of the 22 bolts on the rocker cover so what order are the rest to be tightened to,cheers

Yeah,but not the full monty,I've got that manual also,just wondered why it only shows the sequence for seven bolts, ink famine or what?,just dont want to buckle the cover so I'll take your advice and work from the centre out.....kinda,thanks for the help...cheers buddy.

You just extend the sequence in a X pattern going out. Never seen a 400/4 Manuel until i just looked it up for you. Lost count on how many i have built over the years.
