    I meant to ask if anyone subscribes to the site to get the extra goodies. Is that worth the $30. I may do it for one year.

    I subscribe. Very useful videos.

    I subscribed for one year and found it very useful. Its nice to watch a video the first time you do a carb sync, a compression test, an oil purge, etc. After that first year I dropped it.

    Most torque values, unless specified otherwise, are for dry threads (no lubrication). Anti-seize compound will act as a lubricant, which may cause an overtorque situation if you use the same torque value. I don't know if this is very significant or not, but I bring it up anyway because some folks may not pay any attention or realize that a torque spec always includes a "dry" or "lubed" condition.

    hi guys, I am also looking for the torque values for the ring mount/ engine interface for the 912 ULS and it seems the installation manual makes no mention --- any idea where I can find that?
