    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.

Gasket sealer on the base gasket?

Pulled the engine out of the GS1000 to replace a failed Vesra base gasket. I used Gaskasinch on the gasket when the engine was re-assembled. It appeared the gasket was chemically attacked and swelled or expanded in all directions. gasket was humped up between the cylinder liners and was actually starting to work up the walls of the liners. The failure was the gasket squeezing out at one of the oil passage ears on the back side of the cylinder. The Vesra gasket was a black or dark gray material, the new OEM Suzuki gasket is a tannish orange color, completely different material.
What gasket adhesive / sealer are you guys using, if any, on OEM Suzuki base gaskets.
I don't want to re-do this job anytime soon.
 
Make sure you replace those oblong O-rings with OE too.
