    gs1100E head gasket question

    83 gs1100e

    Long story, here is the short version.

    Suzuki manual says it's a stock 72mm bore. The non-stock head gasket i purchased (yes, i now know it's crap) is 72MM. I installed it and it never ran the same. Idle was never right I could not adjust it out.

    Tore it down again, measured my bore and it's 73.5. Any suggestions before I purchase a new suzuki head gasket? Can I get an over sized?

    I can get for you or you can get from Cometic. I have 74mm in stock. Will run you about 65 shipped if you are in the US 48. Ray.

      Can I still use a stock base gasket?

          Yes, but you will need a new one if you want to ENSURE there are no leaks. I have those too. Ray.
