    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.

So, I'm finally sick of the oil spewing into my pipes. I'm going to change the base and head gaskets on the old pig. Aside from gaskets, anything I should have? Anything I should look out for?
 
Hmm I only say cause I've seen many times where it just looks like the tach area is just wet and the rest of the engine soaked but It was all just seeping from that spot and the wind was blowing it back. Cant hurt i guess to Check and see if it's even a little wet those can definitley contribute to the gulf oil spill

Make SURE you change the orings on the front, center 2 head nuts. More often than not these 2 orings are the leak source, NOT the gaskets. Ray.

Is this something I can do without removing the head? It'd be great if it was an easy fix. I'm prepared to do the whole job, I just don't want to. Haha
 
I did. Get the two orings from Suzuki. Pop off the valve cover. Remove the two nuts. Re-oring them and torque em back on.
