Hey guys, so i was doing some work on my bike trying to torque the head bolts (i guess thats what you would call them?) to 120 in/lbs. Now, i had some trouble finding a good method to go about doing this, so i ended up putting two nuts on the bolt (as seen in the picture below) and tightening them together in order to have something to turn the bolt. I used this method on all of the bolts, and then finished up, and reassembled the engine. I went to see if the bike would turn over, and it seemed as if the engine had seized up entirely on me. I removed the head and could see that in fact the piston would not move up or down, when i tried to roll the bike with the clutch out, the back wheel simply would not roll (it would roll if the clutch was pulled in). I thought this was particularly strange, because when i had the head off trying to torque the bolts, the piston would move up and down just fine. it was only once they where all torqued down (and left overnight) that the engine would not move. To make matters worse, I accidentally stripped some of the bolts trying to remove them! The bolts are also lock tighted in. Could someone please tell me how they would go about dealing with this? I am worried for the sake of my engine.
