Newbie hear, and I apologize if this has been discussed before, I searched and did not really find anything.
I'm going to be replacing my crankcase cover gasket in the near future. The existing Philips head bolts are already stripped and I haven't even started to remove them yet (this is a 1996 bike). I've ready several post of people recommending upgrading these bolts (as well as others) to either caps screws or socket head cap screws, which I hoped to do, but had several questions
1. Any recommendation on bolt material/plating (black oxide, stainless, plated?) particularly going into the aluminum case
2. Any recommendations on anti-seize or similar
3. Does anyone know the size thread pitch and length of the cover bolts, (8 part #95027-06025-00, 2 part #95027-06035-00). I know I can measure mine, but I wanted to order the bolts if possible so I'll have them when the gasket gets here and I can't get to my bike for a couple of days.
Thanks for any help
