    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.

I know on the old kz's you are supposed to use sealer on some of the studs when you put them into the cases. What about on my gs1100. I looked in the book, but don't see anything on it. I'm getting some seeping from the front of the block and cases. I',m wondering if it's lack of sealer on the threads that is partly to blame.
 
Not sure what you mean by 'sealer'. A little threadlock on the studs is a good idea, but I don't think it will make any difference to a leak.
 
No sealers on the GS.
Try retorqueing your head, if you're lucky it will help.

While you're in there, fix the center nuts in the head, the most probable cause.
Check my site: modifications/oily stuff.

If that doesn't help you probably need to take the head off to replace the o-rings on the studs.
 
I've had the head off a couple times and have been re-using the same base gasket. I got a new cometic base gasket yesterday and took it apart. I'll put it back together today. I've never had o-rings on the studs. Are you talking between the head and block or block and cases?

Thanks,
