I have two head bolts that were stripped at the top nuts .So I took all the studs out. I’m going to replace them. I’m just asking how to replace them with the correct lbs there 6mm? loctite yes or no /red or blue? I think I would double nut them to tighten. There on a 50cc. Thanks

You don't have to torque the studs putting them into the case, a little red loctite and they'll stay in place. You do have to be pretty quick running the studs in tho, red loctite sets up fast. Then torque your head nuts to 12-14.
I was thinking head nuts were 10 ft lbs on 6mm and 12 on 8mm bolts but wasn’t for sure it’s been a little time go. I hate these things always worried about breaking them off or stripping them. I should be getting some better ones then stock china junk tomorrow in mail. Thanks so I’ll do 12 on them

Oh, you might be right about that, I read 6 mm, but it didn't register in my brain.
