Might I recommend you take a look at this post:
I went through an issue where I had to replace oil seals in that area. "Just" had to remove the engine and flip it over!
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

Just me, but sounds like false economy unless the engine has been apart before. 30 year old head and base gaskets are prone to leaking, particularly on engines where the owner hasn't kept up with the maintenance schedule for torquing the head nuts. Split the case with the head attached and then the head starts seeping six months later is a very real possibility.
And don't forget that aftermarket gaskets are prone to leakage. Only use OEM Suzuki gaskets or you may have to do the repair twice.Ed
To measure is to know.

true words spoken by Nessism. My top end started to slightly leak like 2 weeks ago, I wanted to do a top end refresh regardless, much like the one BassCliff is doing right now.
I'm gonna wait for him to finish and then go for it. My problem is that my bike is my only means of transportation so I'm considering buying a spare engine while the other one is off the bike. Any offers?
