Hi,

I've had to install a reconditioned head on my Uno 1100, after finding that corrosion in the head had eaten into a combustion chamber. I'm fitting new head bolts as well and I'm wondering if the head bolts need to be oiled before installing them or not? I know that either oiling or not oiling them can effect the accuracy of the torquing of the bolts. Does anyone know if they have to be oiled or not? The Haynes manual doesn't say.

Thanks.
 
Okay, I'm answering my own question! After going through the Haynes manual very closely I see that it says this in the supliment section for the 1106cc engin:
"The cylinder head bolts must have clean threads, dipped in engine oil and allowed to drain for thirty minutes".
Question answered!
