I have finished installing the new water pump seals in my 89 KDX200. Everything appears to have gone smoothly. My one outstanding question is what the Torque setting should be on the right side cover bolts and water pump cover. I have the 89-94 manual and it mentions torque settings on just about everything expect those bolts. It mentions settings for 8mm brackets but I want to be sure before cranking her down since we are dealing with steel bolts against aluminum threads!

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cover bolts are usually 6-10lbs max. Remember, its just that- a COVER. I've seen many people overtighten the bolts to about 25lbs. I set mine to 8.5, works good. ;)
