 1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)
 
 Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

 yeah I did the base, cause it had crumbled into nothing when I took it off.Originally posted by Larry D View PostI think what you read was the re-use of the valve cover gasket, which is done often. Always get a new OEM head or base gasket. 
 Yeah I just decided to roll the dice on the head gasket... was trying to save $100 . I also read a bit on guys re-using them... but yes it the best idea to just change it. . I also read a bit on guys re-using them... but yes it the best idea to just change it.
 Hopefully it holds.
 
 Actually my valve cover gasket is leaking, I broke it mucking around yesterday.
