    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Blown head gasket

Dink, are you saying that you do not need the "O" rings if you use a graphite top gasket?

Since your 1150 is stock as is mine, if you have already replaced your top and base gaskets with cometic graphite ones, would you by any chance have the part numbers written down someplace? :-)

On press/refitting the old link in the camchain......... Do you mean your method is to press out the pins, remove the sideplate and then re-install the side plae and re-peen the ends over to put it back together? I would think that would stress the pins a bit.......just a thought though, I have never done that.

I am saying the o-rings at the bottom of the block where the cylinders meet the top crankcase half HAVE to be replaced as does the bottom gasket, BTW there is no need to peen the link pins after you press the sideplate back on, Cometic gasket number is C8031
 
Ahhhhh, I thought I was losing my mind. :-) Thanks :-)
