Cheers, 

	I must revise the water circuit lines from the cylinder heads of #1

and #3 to the reservoir to accommodate the SD-20 alternator. This involves

re-routing 17mm water tubes rearward which in turn requires swiveling the

applicable bent tubes through the sockets on the heads by loosening the

M6x20 Allen screws.

	If you have done this (I am a tyro) what precautions do you take to

re-position and tighten the Allen screws on the sockets holding them?

For examples, kindly see the WATER CIRCUIT, NEW STYLE and the CYLINDER HEAD,

INTAKE MANIFOLD, FILTER parts diagrams.

	Thanks, Ferg Kyle

Hi Ferg,

  

 Loosening the  Allen screws does not allow  swiveling the elbows. You need to remove the  flange/elbow sub assembly from the engine, then unscrew the elbow from the  flange, clean the treads on both the elbow and the flange with a solvent  (acetone works for that), cover the treads with Loctite 243 or equivalent, screw  the elbow in the flange, fit to the engine with a new o-ring, swivel the elbow  in the suitable position, let the loctite cure before operation.  I had to  do that on cyl 1 and 2 because I had a leak at the treads.

 Hope that helps.

 Regards

 Remi
