    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.

Bought a GS1100E, Damn Oil Leak

Well I replaced the two rubber seals on both side of the cam chain--and still have the oil leak????any ideas?
 
I have the same problem on my '82. Once you pull those center stud nuts you can see if the leak was coming from there. Mine wasn't so I'm torn down now, doing top end gaskets, and while I'm there rings and valve seals.

Hope to pick up the parts today and start reassembly tomorrow.


BTW, my leak was not minor. I had cleaned it up and in 20 miles I had a slathered up mess.

Also, my head an cylinder were flat within .002, so I don't think I have a warp issue.
 
Thanks Hank, Yes my center studs were bone dry so it wasn't the rubber seals, Im told there is a gasket towards the center were the chain comes through that might be the problem.
