    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

O.K. Here is a dumb question! Its been so long since I`ve done this that I cant remember! Can you remove the head off a 82 1100e with the motor in the frame, so that the head gasket can replaced??? I`ve got 30,000 plus miles on mine and she`s starting to leak pretty bad!
 
Yes. It's a good idea to change the base gasket at the same time...and valve stem seals...and many people hone and throw in new rings too.:D
 
Before you tear it apart to replace gaskets that might NOT be leaking, try changing the orings on the front 2, center, head nuts first. I have found this to be the problem MANY times. Ray.
 
+1 on RapidRay's advice. I followed his advice after I thought I had a base gasket leak on my 83 1100. No more leaks and it's quick and simple, which is even better!
