Gasket Replacements

[eddiev]

Hi to all and thanks for all the prior advice.
I am in the middle of a rebuild on an 82 gs1100gl. I like to know what you guys would recommend to put on gaskets before installing if anything. I've had a tough time cleaning off all the old gasket residue trying my best to not gouge the surfaces. I'm thinking gasket adhesive, a light coat of oil??? Specific gaskets are : oil pan, head gasket, cam cover, stator cover, starter cover....
Thanks.

There is liquid gasket removers out there. Not sure if you have tried them.

Just did mine a couple of months now. Used nothing but a lght coat of 20W-50 oil on the surfaces

Clean the mating metal surfaces of all oil, old gasket material, old sealers, etc. and then put the new gasket on DRY.
