99 scrambler top end 2 stroke
Thinking about buying a complete top end. It has been bored out to .010 and includes the jug, head, Wiseco piston , rings, pin. No gaskets or needle bearing for $185. I get to keep my old head and jug. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
A couple of questions:
I take it that I should NOT used any sealant on this?
On the clylinder base, it reads that the bolts should be torqued to 25-29 Ft Lbs. The problem is that a torque wrench won't fit. How do you do you secure those according to the specs?
Anything special I would have to do to the carb, or could I just bolt it all together and be good to go?
Thanks in advance for any advice

They say not to use any sealant but I always do on both sides of the gaskets. clean both surfaces spotless and I put a very thin layer of sealant just to be sure both surfaces seal I then let everything set up before start-up. I hate after a rebuild the oil seepage so i try to keep it to a minimum.

Like 4getful2 said, any RTV silicone or gasket maker will work, Keep in mind I also use the proper gaskets I just run and small amount of sealant on both sides before the parts go together just to make sure they seal tight.I do this for everything that needs and air tight seal. I don`t use anything other than the specked gaskets on the exhaust side of the motor, these gaskets are specially made for the heat the motor will put out.

Got a good tip about using an obstruction wrench. It appears that when you use the
10 mm obstruction wrench (flat with no angle) with a torque wrench, the values become mostly negligable. By using a nut bolt combination on the torque wrench side the values should under as opposed to over. I figure to torque it to the middle range, which should be about right
NeffMan- Thanks for sealant tip. What gasket manufacture do you recommend? I'm going on faith when I order the gaskets that they will be specific for my task.
