    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.

Leaking Camshaft Seals (?) Replacement; Where To Buy New Seals!?

I believe I need to replace the cam seals on my 82 GS450L. They look just like the cam seals on my cars, the semi-circular black rubber seals that sandwich right around where the intake meets the cylinder head. After getting nice and warm, they will start to slowly drip out motor oil, and some of it runs on the fins of the cylinder!

I can't seem to find a place that sells replacements, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, I work on import cars. I have a good solid base of metric tools; what tools may I need that I probably won't have? I am about to replace these seals, tear down my carbs, clean them, and reinstall.

EDIT - Here's a pic from BikeBandit, it looks exactly like #16:

Awesome, thanks guys!

So no weird tools I will be needing for the carbs?
 
No, no special tools really, not much more than a screwdriver, needle nose pliers and a measuring stick for the floats. Ray
