    replacing base gasket

    i have to replace my base gasket after rebuilding the whole top end, evidently i messed the gasket up some how, but it has new rings and has broken in great, but because i have to pull the cylinders do i have to redo the rings again, or can i out it back together since the rings are brand new.

    You don't have to change the rings. I am assuming your tearing it back down due to oil leak at base? You will need a new head gasket, top and base.

      Just a reminder to use OE Suzuki gaskets, and don't forget to retorque the cylinder head after a few heat cycles to avoid leaks.

      To measure is to know.

        Or you can tear it down again for the third time. Don't ask me how I know.

        Good practice.

          Ditto on OEM gaskets and don't forget to re-torque after a few hundred miles.
