    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.

removed them last night so i can take the head in to have the exhaust port bolt holes milled out and re-tapped...will be ordering a gasket set for the bike among other things and wanted to know what the process was for installing the head gasket and base gasket. is it a matter of just cleaning the surfaces and slapping on the gasket or do i need to use some kind of gasket sealer. also is there anything i should be doing while these parts are off since they are already off?
 
No gasket sealer necessary.

In your gasket kit should be some valve seals. This would be a good time to replace them.
While the valves are out to replace the seals, a little lapping compound is a good idea.

Since you are not replacing the piston rings, honing the cylinders is optional.

Inspect the cam chain guides. They are considered a wear item, this is the best time to replace them, if necessary.

Call me when the parts come in, I can probably help you put them together. :D
