    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...

    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.

Oil Passage Gasket holders for a 1982 gs750t (tscc) engine

I am replacing the head gasket of this bike and I ordered the Athena kit, as I planned on replacing several gaskets. I took the head gasket off and noticed that it had smaller gaskets set inside held by little metal bits. I lost one when removing the head gasket and the Athena kit did not come with new ones. Was wondering what the name of these little holders were, and if they are crucial for the oil passage gaskets to set correctly. -Thanks

Don't know what they are called, but is it too late to get your money back for the Athena gaskets?

Also, you should be aware that in the process of removing the head, you WILL disturb the base gasket, so plan on replacing it, too.

Yes, they cost more, but OEM gaskets are the way to go. Buy once, cry once, but you will only have to do the job once.
