I've removed the old rusty exhaust header bolts from a 1980SG engine. I used BP Blaster and two nuts jammed together to wrench 'em out. The tapped holes look ok to me.
Question: Should I use Locktite on the new bolts? Any words of wisdom pertaining to installing the new bolts?
BTW, this is my first post on XS650.com. I am doing a complete tear-down/clean-up/re-build of a 1980 650SG. I am soooooo glad this website is here! There is so much knowledge and information available here. Even though I put over 50K miles on a brand new '78 650 that I owned (and loved) for many years, I am just now learning the innards of the 650 bike.
