Oil pan gasket for 1984 GS550l

[antlese]

Hey guys,
I have purchased an oil pan for my 84 GS550L from ebay. Just got around to removing the old one today. It had a cross threaded drain plug. Anyway, I was hoping to use my existing gasket, but I managed to damage it. I can not use it for a template to make a new one.

Would appreciate it if someone could point me towards anew OEM gasket or even a template for it.

Regards,

Antlese

place the oil pan on the gasket material and draw around it, make your own template that way

I think this is what you're looking for.

Agemax is right, you can make a gasket that way as well.

I created a gasket myself. Used some heavy drawing paper and basically rubbed my fingers over the paper while holding it onto the oil pan. Had a little oil/grease on my hands which helped create the outline.

Cut the outline out, and did a test fit on the oil pan. It fit perfectly. Then I placed my template on a roll of gasket material and cut it out using a sharp modelling knife.

Installed the oil pan and new gasket a couple of days ago. I used a small bead of blue permatex gasket goop on each face of the new gasket. Filled the bike with oil and so far no leaks. :0)
