    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 while waiting for my parts (and now my paypal dispute because some arse sold me junk online) my 80 gs1100e is sitting in the garage tore down to the pistons. I had my head nuts placed on cardboard perfectly marked where they go. Well low and behold my father in law goes trapsing through my garage like a damn bull in a china closet and kicked them all over the place. Now I know on a car it's either put them exactly back where they came from or buy new. Can I reuse these now since I don't know exactly where they came from?
 
Make sure you get new rubber o rings for the front center two nuts. You can develop an oil leak there.
 
one other thing is to get new copper washers that go under the nuts inside the head. I think there are six of them....check the fiche.
 
don't need new copper washers under the bolts... simply heat to cherry red and let them cool.... bingo, freshly annealed washers that are once again ready for use...

i flat sand em first to get any ridges off and to ensure a nice seal is formed.. :)
