    Dale, that's good to hear. I guess I can just look and ask about any damage to the gasket and if all looks/sounds good then it should be no problem, thanks. All the 0-rings are cheap enough to buy.

    Eric, I might be interested in the ring set for sure, I'll PM you about it.

      Personally I don't have an issue with using a good aftermarket head gasket, but when it comes to the base gaskets and o-rings, I'm with Ed, use only OEM parts.

        I have one of the Harbor Freight plug cleaners pictured earlier. Ran the same set of plugs in the Shadow for 6 years. I used it today to clean the plugs I pulled out of the 73 Yamaha TX750 project im working on. I use the air gun to blow the blasting grit out of the wells and the threads and they look good as new from the box.

        NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          I take it from the -000 in the part number the rings are standard size. If Rob doesn't want them I'd like to be next in line. No rush in deciding Rob, I'd just like to have them in my parts stock.

            There's my vote. Give that thing a thousand good hard miles.

              Yes Sandy is correct. (As usual! )
              Standard bore parts.





              If Rob doesn't need them, Sandy gets them.

                Rob, whether I make the rally or not, be sure to connect with me for some back roads you won't find on your map

                On the way back, Tuesday will be TWT night at Mike's. He collects Kawasaki Triples and will have 8 mint ones by then. Plus, acres of dirt riding

                Sandy, the same for you
