Those 3 are normaly done to BT.

OK so about 1.5mm, I may have a dril bit, if not the guage will do it

I don't anticipate ever replacing pistons myself but I would be ok replacing gaskets in the head. I also would not be touching gear boxes, so with that in mind, what range may I need?

Laverda Dave:
Personally the torque wrench I use most is my Seeley 1/4“ as a) it came with a calibration certificate and b) the range is low enough for the 8ft/Lb for 6mm bolts (and there are plenty of those on the 400/4 engine). My 3/8 torque wrench starts at 10ft/Lb and is not accurate at 8ft/Lb, ask me how I discovered this! If you are going to strip a thread it will be a 6mm!
If you can afford both get a 1/4“ and a 3/8". If you go to one of the larger shows Seeley normally have their stand with some deals on (or try eBay).
