    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.

1983 GS450T I have looked at the clymers and I cannot see how oil gets from the bottom end to the cams? There are 8 bolts/studs, and two locator pins. Does the oil come through the two locator pins? There is a rubber surround on the head gasket on each of the 4 outside stud holes... Is the stud holes on the outside edge where pressure oil goes?
There is no outside oil line...

Yup, oil goes up around the outermost studs.
 
Thanks.... I am doing a budget overhaul. I plan to use some permatex spray gasket on the head gasket because it came off so well. a brush on the valve seat with the Sirta machine. Grind the faces, and chop off 010" off the top to see if I can get one of the shims within measuring range. Right now it is tight with a .0015" feeler. The shims in use measure .105" and .102" Three of the thicker and one of .102" Lucky I have a reasonable Suzuki dealer with a few shims. I hope to have it running in a week.

Thanks for the answer to my simple question....

And yes we here in the Great White north are very metricated, but my old Starrett gauges are all in English.

Mike....

Happy Birthday America!
