Head gasket. (Read 122 times)

village idiot YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 8 Owensville Mo. Gender:	Head gasket. 07/17/11 at 15:10:52 Thanks to all who helped remedy my carb problem. Used your ideas and it runs like a dream. However, it appears the head gasket is leaking oil. Is this a difficult replacement? Is it possible to do in the bike? I'm pretty good with a wrench, just mostly on sb chevys.

Reply #2 - 07/17/11 at 17:02:35 Is it the head gasket,... or just the top cover?... it's usually the rubber plug under the top cover. You can do the top cover on the bike... HOWTO: Head Plug Cap / Seal

In addition to Verslagen's sound advice, take a zillion pics as you take things apart. With most smartphones and digital cameras these days you can even take video, which allows you to narrate something you are doing so you won't forget it later. That has saved me immeasurable heartache numerous times. I've been able to help a few folks here too, when they asked for help on how to reassemble something.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

Or print out a picture of the head, stick it to a piece of cardboard, poke holes at each bolt location, then slide the bolts in the holes as you remove them. Old trick.

I found the picture in another post. Taped to cardboard and use to hold bolts. I have to stop and remember to take pics. Sometimes that gets lost in the work.....
