    Cylinder head gasket

    Hi, I have an 82 gs850g. Has anyone used an Athena head gasket? I recently did rings, lapped valves, replaced seal guides with viton guides and when I start up the bike she smokes from both exhaust pipes. Once the engine is warmed up within 5 minutes there is no smoke from either exhaust pipe...

    Thank you. I have emailed the seller and have yet received an answer to my questions. You may very well have answered them. Again, many thanks.

    What did I do wrong

    I have looked into another head. I found one that's complete. However, the valve cover has 16 holes whereas mine, on a 1982 gs850g, has 19 holes. I have checked part numbers for the cylinder head gasket, 11141-49410, and all are the same for 1979-83. I also find that 1979 was the only year...

    What did I do wrong

    Hi guys, Before I received the newer posts I removed everything and put the cam caps back on the cylinder hdad. I used the brake cylinder home method suggested and now all rotates. I don't know how much torque there should be on the crank. My manual says nothing but to check and make sure all...

    The original head had a broken body around a inside bolt hole. I'll check to see if I can get the caps, doubtful though.

    What did I do wrong

    Unfortunately I am using an old cylinder head. These are not new caps either. They came from my old cylinder head as well as the cam shafts. I have the dowels in place for each cap. I'll try the brake cylinder hone. Thanks!

    What did I do wrong

    All the caps are on the right journals, facing the right way. When I tighten them down to 7 foot pounds motor won't rotate. Could a shim be placed under the caps due to the fact I'm using a different cylinder head? Please read my earlier comments.

    Cam cap bolts

    In my gs850g, I tightened the cam cap bolts to 7 foot pounds, engine would not rotate. I backed the intake off 1/4 turn, bolts have loctite on them. Will backing off 1/4 turn cause me any problems. The motor turns freely now.

    What did I do wrong

    I have tightened all cap bolts on both exhaust and intake cams. No movement. I backed off 1/4 turn on the cap C&D and the motor rotates freely. Am I safe with the bolts backed off 1/4 turn. I also put lock tight on the bolts.

    What did I do wrong

    There is no direct timing mark but an F a line and a T on the disc on the end of the crank. I bring #1 and #4 to TDC and the disc lines up on the line between the F and T which is lined up on the left blade of the igniter. I hope this makes sence. As I tighten down on the exhaust cam I check...

    What did I do wrong

    I am using the original cams from the old head as well as the caps. I have not had the head milled. I had the bike running and then I lost a cylinder so I took everything apart again and started over. I did not remove the head. That will be my next step. Thanks for your input... PS: If the...

    What did I do wrong

    I sent an earlier post but apparently didn't go through. I have a 1982 gs850g. With the cams out the engine turns over just fine. However, on this cylinder head the cam chain guide #2 is not there. The bolt holes are plugged so I guess it was not needed(I receive a post+ earlier on this)...

    Ok, thanks. I didn't want to leave out a part and have to do it over. Thanks again.

    Can chain guide

    AGAIN-I have a 1982 gs850g, I am changing the cylinder head. The cam chain guide #2, part number 12791-45040 appears in the schematics in all gs850g's. On the new cylinder head there are no bolt holes in the center of the head, above the intake ports to attach this part. There appears to be...

    Bucket lifters

    I have a 82 gs850g and I swapped cylinder heads. I cleaned all and am in the process of lapping the valves. I reassembled the valve, new guide seals etc, but can't get the bucket Back in. I don't want to force them back, I tried lubricating but the won't fit back in, any suggestions would be...
