    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.

o-ring, too many o-rings

So I decided to rebuild my 77 gs750 a while ago and went as far as spliting the cases, it has be fun, but now time to put everything back together. I got a complete rebuild gasket kit and I know all the gaskets and oblong oring, those are easy, but I have a few questions now. I have one o-ring in the midlle of the cases, that was easy, but there are a few I don't rember, i know, brain fart, it has one thinner than the center case ring, it looks kinda like the oil pump o-rings, but there is only one. The second one is about twice the diameter of the others, but not thick enough to be the starter oring, and finally it came with five (but the list only says it should come with four) "metalized" rings, the best I can describe them is a washer that has been ruberized, I may remeber them going between the cans and the head, with the head gasket, but I am really not sure. Any help would be awsome with the rings I Listed or others.
 
This should be interesting as I just ordered a full gasket kit for my 850. So whatever input people have, I am also interested. This is the first time I've rebuilt a motorcycle engine.
 
so I have 4 washer orings and 2 feed bolts, is this correct do they go above and below the washer??
 
If its a full set you should get ALL the O rings which include ones for the camchain tensioner plus the metal crush ones for the cross oil way (Where the garage stick the oil pump gauge!!!) and sump plug.
Between the cases come 2 rubber O rings, there should be one for the oil pump, bottom of the barrels (if applicable to your model) all the top end set of seals and the O rings for the cylinder head gasket. You may also have copper washers for the cylinder head.

What brand of gasket set did you get? That might help us picture what you're looking at.

The Vesrah sets are high quality, but far from "complete".
