    Anyone close?

    I am about to start pulling top end apart... I have never taken on a job of this magnitude, and would love to find someone in the area of Cleveland to stop by with some helpful knowledge...
    I am currently working on a gs750e, and have heated work space, and should have tools needed...
    any special tools required?
    any tips for replacing top end gaskets?
    I have the gasket sealer/silcone, are there any other materials needed?

    I work on the bike on Sundays, and Mondays, anyone interested, let me know...

    I'm not close enough to help, but, the first thing you should do is throw the gasket sealer/silicon away, it's not needed and can cause more harm than good. The head and base gaskets go on dry. The valve cover gasket can be smeared with a light coat of light-weight grease to make it easier to remove later when the valves are checked.

    The most difficult part will be to remove the hardened, crusty, gaskets. Good Luck and post up some pics of your progress.
