Finally got around to installing BW header and Delkevic muffler. I have a couple questions.
should the O2 sensors be cleaned up at all? I have seen some suggest vinegar or ultrasonic cleaner. Or just put them back in. anti-seize on threads?
Just checking, the black sensor is for cylinder 1,4 and the grey for 2,3. Is that correct?
header nuts listed at only 13 in-lbs. seems pretty loose. is that correct? anti-seize on these nuts? both these and the O2 came off pretty easily on my 30k mile bike so maybe not needed?
instructions say fit everything, then tighten. I know on these forums someone (Maverick9611) said they had leak (I assume at the head/pipe junction) and loosened and took apart and then re-tightened and re-fit and leak gone. Any others have issues doing it the way BW suggests? They also say to try without the paste at first, heat it up and see if leaks at joints. If leaks, then disassemble and try paste. Are most not using paste?
