need 400ex engine bolts

[CapnMorgan]

I'm building a basket case and I'm missing a few bolts.
I need one of the longest bolts in the cam/valve cover and the camshaft gear bolts.

I also need a valve cover gasket, seat cover, grips, front bumper, skids, and a chain. but I can buy all that new.

I would check the dealer for the bolt. I always use new bolts when working on an engine.

Im am doing the top end myself on my 2004 450 for the first time and I have a few questions for anyone who can help.

- what is the torque for the 4 head bolts?
-are there any other torques I need to know? (cam perch bolts, etc)
-do the rings go on any special way like the old two strokes?
-what are the valve clearances for setting the valves?

If youve done this before and know of more things I may need to know, please fill me in! Im on my 3rd motor in about 1 year, so I figured why not give it a shot myself...whats the worst that can happen...4 motors in a year! Thanks in advance!
