RX1 Engine re-assembly (with pics)

[Yamaharider74]

Con-rod caps can now go on. 1st torque is 14 ft/lbs, second is 14 ft/lbs + 120 degrees. 1st pic shows where the Yamabond has to go.

Did you replace rod bolts , is it a supercharged or turbo engine just wondering if rebuilding engine if rod bolts should be changed

The Yamaha manual says to always replace rod bolts upon being torque so I would especially in a supercharger or turbo application replace the bolts with stock rods.

RX and Apex are the same.

The timing mark looks something like this:

I--------I I

You want the pointer lined up with the last "I" on the right hand side above.
