    Update - 4 June 2014

    Scheduled 530 conversion this Saturday. I also have a new petcock to install. I would do the valve cover gasket but I received the wrong OEM gasket from my supplier. It's only the second time in a year something like this has happened.

      Can't wait to see the pic so I can refer to it when I do mine.

      For the petcock, make sure you have o-rings for the two bolts. I luckily had spares from my carb rebuild....

        O-rings for the two bolts...I'm confused. I didn't see them on the fische otherwise I would have ordered them.

        I swapped out the one I have from my parts bike and I've had no problems with the petcock.

        Anyway...I will post pics. My new Galaxy S5 has an awesome camera.

          Number 4 here: http://www.partsoutlaw.com/oemparts/...e350/fuel-cock
          They are sealing washers. Some on this forum have said that they can find them in hardware stores... none that I have been to yet though.
          So, I just bought a hundred of them from an on-line supplier.

            Hmmm...it's been a while since I changed out the petcock...and I installed everything back together as it was removed from my parts bike. I've had no problems with the petcock.

            Thanks for the reference!

              Hey Ed,

              I don't know the status of your valve cover gasket replcement but if you're still looking to do that you should consider getting a reusable one from RealGaskets.com. They make aviation grade gaskets and they offer motorcycle gaskets made of the same material. The cost is no more than an OEM. Yours would cost $27.50+S&H.

              Here's a pic:

              This thread is a nice read. Good work on the bike. Keep it going; soon you'll be whipping out the cotton wheel and metal polish.

                A few GSR members have tried using the RealGaskets valve cover, they haven't worked out real good. Something about the construction or the material don't remember. They just leaked, they went back to OEM and no more leaks. RealGaskets was suppose to change make of the gasket, whether they have yet I don't know.

                  Also, the 2nd-gen 750 engine is very picky about valve cover thickness because the tach drive gear is in the valve cover. If it doesn't mesh just so with the exhaust cam shaft, the gear on the cam shaft gets eaten. Ask me how I know.

                    I purchased a gasket from BlvdSuzuki.com before I left Alamogordo and received the wrong one. Called them and they sent another but I didn't received it right away. I called and had another one UPS'd to me real quick. Next thing you know, the other one shows up...so now I have 2.

                    Both gaskets--cam chain/valve cover are in a box at home waiting for me to come back and replace them when I get a vacation break in Florida. I also have to order fork seals because the left side started to leak after my last ride to Roswell.

                    Good info Bill.

                    I'll take this into consideration once I R2 the valve cover.

                      looks like an impact gun would make short work out of that nut removal.

                        Yes, that's what MrBill suggested to me.

                        For now, my bike is parked at home in Delaware. I'm currently working as a Contractor in Jacksonville, FL. I miss riding and I'm sure I will be rusty by the time I get all the maintenance done.

                          I think you should have left your T and a bunch of parts with me. I would have something to do lol.

                            That would have been a good idea...but I wouldn't want you to do everything to it without me. I need to learn how to do it myself. You gave me the confidence to take care of the the work we did on her.

                            Thanks Bill...I'm still around here but not as frequent as when I was in Alamogordo.

                              Hey Bill,

                              Since I will be using my trailer soon, I wanna do as you suggest. I'll need to take my bike to the local motorcycle shop for some welding on the tail end. Lots to do!
