    Finally got some time to start putting things back together on the zx2r, fitted a new timing chain with the recommended 29 links between timing marks and cinched down the cam cover. All turns nicely by hand but now i need to torque the cam cover bolts and as always the interwebs is a minefield. From experience im gonna guess about 8 to 14 lbs but im sure someone here will know off the top of their head.....please. That carby seals kit looks like something i might need to invest in if all goes well from here. Already got the new filters and needles ready to go in.

    10 newton meters... failing that, finger tight with a 1/4" ratchet and then snugged a little more. Don't force them.

    Beat me to it @Linkin :) Or a short 10mm spanner and you can get the right feel.
