[QUOTE="Morecowbell, post: 1438337, member: 27150"] My FJR has the top two bolts on the oil pump cover mostly stripped. After the last valve adjustment, I used my Draper click-type torque wrench set to the required 10Nm. All of the bolts around the cover torqued correctly except for the top two. They just kept rotating. The threads seem to have just enough grab to keep the bolt in place, so I put them in as snug as I could with blue loc-tite on the threads. With several hundred miles on it since, I have seen no evidence of oil seepage. I'll keep an eye on it and do a more permanent thread repair next time that cover comes off. I wonder if the metal in the crankcase is softer around those bolts for some reason? It seems like 10Nm is a bit too much torque...next time I'll set the wrench for 8Nm just to be cautious. [/QUOTE]
