I put roughly 300 miles on my new engine. I was riding the other day and the bike had a lack of power, pulled over and it died. I found the 2 inner head nuts on the right side had come completely off. I got the bike restarted and I was getting compression from the holes.. this doesn't seems normal. the engine has been rephrased with 81mm weisco pistons and LA cylinder sleeves. I think the compression is in the 11 range.
I torqued the head to 30ft lb with a freshly recalibrated digital snap-on torque wrench. I also used ARP moly grease as a lubricant. I was thinking of using blue Loctite and torqueing the head all over again.
here is the bike in question
