Tech Help please
I just pulled the head and cylinder off my 81 gs850 and i have a packing that has been there from day one. it has become a problem removing and i was hopping someone had some advice on how to pull it off with no damage to the cylinder?

Welcome to GSR.
Packing? Gasket?
On which/what?
Pull off with no damage to cyclinders?
(perhaps a photo would be good).
Plenty of folks here willing to help.
Are you refering to the head gasket on the cycliders? If so, it will need scraping. I suggest sharpening a putty knife, sharpen on one side of the edge. BUt be carefull to hold the putty knife at a shallow angle to the surface so dont gouge the surface.

I believe he means gasket.
They make gasket removers chemicals and blades. I use razor blades but make sure not to score the surface.
I've even used stainless steel scrubbers.Comment

Surface conditioning disks in an air die grinder -- the finest grit available -- and for dog's sake, be careful!
They're the fastest, easiest way to remove gaskets, but also the fastest way to chew up irreplaceable parts forever.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
