I snagged a pair of genuine (claimed) OEM GS850 cylinder base gaskets today.
Oddly, the gasket for the 79-81 was listed seperately from the 82/83. On close as I could examination, the only diff I could see were the trailing oil drain gasket surrounding the passageways at the rear of the block/case were slightly wider. Opting for the likelihood that Suzi had made them wider because of chronic leaks from there, I decided to pull the trigger on a pair of them.
Hope I'm not hoping in vain
Well, if these work it's another step forward and one held in reserve.
