    GS 1100 copper head washers and 12 mm screws

    1983 Katana 1100
    where do the six copper head washers go my microfiche shows different from my service manual.
    And the two 6mm head bolts on the ends of the head are there some sort of rubber washers on them.
    my stock factory bolts had them but theres nothing on the microfiche or the service manual that shows any.

    Two at the rear cam chain tunnel and the four outside the valve cover.
    The rubber washers go on the very outside of the valve over right above the rectangular cam covers.

            Not true! All the copper washers go INSIDE the valve cover. The 4 zinc plated steel washers go outside the valve cover. The 4, not 2, rubber coated steel, 6mm washers go on the 4 screws that do down into the top of the valve cover on the outside on both ends.

              You're right
              Going on memory and it's not so good I suppose.
              Been in there enough to know.

                  The steel washers go outside the valve cover by the spark plug area of the head. There are four.
