In part 7 of our 2017 Yamaha Raptor engine build, we’re ready to install the cylinder head. We’ll start by getting the head gasket on, and then we’ll show you the torque settings and the tightening sequence to get the head installed to Yamaha’s specifications.

There are a couple of other parts we’ll install, including the thermostat and an oil delivery pipe. We’ll also set the valve lash on our Yamaha Raptor 700, showing you the valve lash settings on the intake and exhaust sides.

Go back a step and see us install the valves in part 6: https://youtu.be/buTzk2cVA-U
