If you're going to fully rebuild your engine then yes.

Engine out, remove clutch, exhaust, flywheel cover, ignition module and flywheel. Then you can start stripping the engine.

If you're going to all the trouble of doing the gaskets then you really should think about doing the crank bearings, seals and piston ring.

I agree if you go to the trouble of taking completely apart replace the crank bearings, seals and piston ring. If you are just doing the top end I still recommend replacing the piston ring.

If you go to Zenoah they have a exploratory view and torque specks you can down load for free.

I think you'll find that all the torque settings are 248 loctite and FT lol

Do it how you would like but I have been a motorcycle mechanic for 40 plus years and there is a reason the manufacture list torque specks. If you over tighten you warp or crack something particularly on 2 bolt motors you do not tighten it enough it will leak or come loose. Have to wonder why some have so much trouble with 2 bolt motors?

Torque specs are all so in every manual Zenoah or CY.

if your changing the gaskets you might aswell change the bearings and seals and put a new ring in it, you should pop along to the northwest offroad rc club, they run in broughton on sundays i,am sure they would give you some help there a good bunch of lads, check there forum out.
