    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.

I just remove my valve from my 83 gs1100e head to put on new seals and springs. What do I have to do before I put them back or replace them. Can I just put them back???????????????????/

Keep track of the valves and put them back where you got them.
Check the specs on the valves, guides and seats. You can find this info in your manual.
 
while they are out you could lap them in to make sure they are seating good and tight. liberally cover the stems and new stem seals with engine oil before refitting.
make sure you put the same valve back in the same position it came from.
also make sure the collets are seated good and proper on the valve after installation.
a few taps with a hard rubber mallet on the top of the valve will make sure they are seated correctly
 
The guides are probably shot. Bring it over and we will check it out for you
