    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.

replacing head gaskets

Big T said:
You won't have any problem with the rings not sealing if you pull the block. What could possibly change at the rings? It's not like they stay in the same position on a daily basis. People just come up with such weird, unfounded ideas.

I had a bike motor that, after I rebuilt it, just pumped oil like a derrick. I must have taken it apart 4-5 times (lotsa money on a new gasket set each time) looking for the problem. Finally, I took it to another machinist/car restorer/2 stroke guy I know and he looked at it for 2 weeks and finally found a spot where the bore was messed up on one side. Honed it right out. The original machinist boring bar had broken down and gouged the cylinder (not that he'd admit to it)

I never had a problem with the rings not seating again after taking it apart.

Like I said, if you're going to take off the head, go all the way or you'll probably be taking it apart again to replace the base gasket.
