    So I know that I need to get a manual, but I need to get my bike running for a K.I.A. escort on Wednesday. I have to replace all the gaskets, and was wondering if someone could tell me the torque setting for the bolts that hold the cylinders to the crankcase. Pardon my lack of technical terms, I am learning as I go here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Lips

    You're not contemplating pulling the head and cylinders just to replace gaskets, doing it without a book and getting it done by tomorrow?

    Don't do it.
