Just bought a brand new CRF70F and noticed that the cylinder nuts are not all the same. Three are acorn type and one is a regular nut. Also one of the washers under an acorn nut is copper colored instead of silver colored like the rest?

Is this normal? :think:

Thats the way my 01 XR70 was when we got it. I was a bit concerned about it but the dealer said they are made that way. Didn't offer any speculation as to why though. :eek:

I've always heard that no two nuts are alike, but this is ridiculous! :cool:

That's just plain weird! :think:

Thanks for the replies. I went to a website for Honda parts and the diagram shows the different nuts and washers.

Everything is as it should be.

Sometimes you feel like a cap nut, sometimes you don't? :think:

:ohmy: Jackpiner. The reason they use a cap nut and a copper washer is because that engine feeds the oil to the top end through the stud holes. The cap nuts keep the oil from leaking through the threads. :thumb:

ol'89r, Thanks for that info, it's good to know how the oil gets up there. :)
