What Is It Fishin' Wrench?

[JohnP]

Replacing the head gasket on the yamaha and when we pulled the head off noticed the 2 triangle pieces next to center cylinder are cracked. Pulled one out and its all bbusted. Also what should the head bolts be torqued to when we start to put it back together. Th. ks

Figured out that they are the cylinder head anodes. pulled both out and appears that they just corroded?

Yep.

So the screw actually came out hu? You must be living right.

Both screws weren't even hand tight so I'm guessing that was a good thing? Popping the head off took a coaxing tho with a rubber mallet and x2.
