this.  I'm in the process of  setting my valves and want to check the
torque on the head nuts while  there.  The manuals I look at seem to have
conflicting advice.   They mention to adjust to either 15 or 20 n.m
(depends on manual) then rotate  wrench 180' from there.  That doesn't
seem to be very accurate.   Another manual just says torque to 40 n.m.
There is also a torx head bolt  (10mm?) called a rocker arm bearing
saddle bolt that the manual calls for 40  n.m (29ft.lbs).  This seems
real tight for such a little guy.  I  was hoping to get advice from some
of the more experienced guys on  this.  Thanks for the help.
