Replace the two seals at the tachometer also.
Very common to leak there and look like a cylinder head gasket leak.

Most of the GS engines only require 27 ft. lbs on the head bolts.
I shudder to think what would happen if you tried 175.

27-29 is what the manual says but,
I like to take mine to 35 Ft.Lbs.
Rapidray suggests even more at 42. IIRC.

Clean the engine real good. Get it real dry, preferably without cranking it up, then spray some foot powder in the suspect areas (valve cover gasket, head gasket, tach gasket, base gasket, etc.) Then when you run it a little, you will be able to see exactly where the leaks are.1983 GS 1100 Guided Laser

42 is still a LOT less than 175.

They would never make it past about 80 Ft.Lbs. before breaking the studs anyway as they are 10mm "bolts" (Studs)
