Hey, /diy/!

I just got done rebuilding a '93 Virago XV535 motor for my friend, however I am at a standstill when it comes to torquing down the cylinders. The Haynes Manual lists the torque specs however I don't find them to be correct. The manual lists them as 8mm and 10mm nuts, but the nuts fit 14mm and 17mm sockets.

Is there something I am missing? Am I looking at the wrong specs? Yes I am in the XV535 section of the manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As seen on /o/

Not really an expert, tho I'd try searching for 'screw torque chart' for general torque specs unless someone here has more info.

What it means is that the bolts are M8 or M10, i.e. 10mm across the threads.

I can definitely just go with a general torquing I'm sure unless someone has better info for me.

Someone on /o/ had the same idea, but I believe the "cylinder head nut" refers to the 17mm nut in the picture and the "cylinder head flange nut" being the 14 mm which both have the same thread size?
