Cylinder oil leak

To update - I pulled the the top end and discovered a split in the base gasket that I must have done during the original assembly. In installed a new one with sealant. Regarding the studs, all of them are installed down to the plain section. As I recall, the cases were missing their studs when I had them vapor blasted and as I was building the bike out of bits and pieces I had lying around, I must have installed ones that are from different bikes but with the correct threads. The leak is rectified.

I read the thread. I would not have thought that every time you take the head and cylinder off you would replace all the fasteners. This is a straight question: What fasteners would you replace when you re and re a cylinder head and barrel? All the studs? All the nuts? All the bolts? All the washers? Every time? What if you used the upgraded ARP bolts last time? Replace them too?

Only replace on torque to yield bolts or if they look knackered !

I’m think the point is that the studs looked like the wrong ones, and may not be utilising all of the threads in the case.

What torque to yield fasteners are involved in the re and re of a Norton cylinder and head?

None.
Obviously.
No one has said otherwise ??

I was just responding to Shelby-Right's comment. Guess I missed the humour. Maybe next time I Shall Be Right.
