Re: GPz cam bolt thread stripped

I remember from years ago, the torque for these in the manual was wrong, too high. But I THINK it was the Z1100R manual, but might be worth checking as it's around the same era, just in case.

Re: GPZ750 engine numbers

I've a manual that covers 750s up to 1984, last one being the ZX750-A2.
But, the back cover only shows frame numbers, not engine numbers.
If that's any use, I'll scan the back cover for you.

Parcel Force/Royal Mail don't have a surcharge to send to NI, a lot of others (DPD) do.
