Uh oh, there goes the head gasket
I guess the oil is suppose to stay on the inside of the motor, lol. The gasket was already seeping when I bought the bike but last night it gave up. Where can I get an oem head gasket on line? Our local dealer went out of business 2 weeks ago.1981 GS 1100e turbo, 83 motor, turbo pistons, new head, new turbo, backed and welded clutch basket, Dyna S ignition, cbr 929 front end, gsxr 750 rear end with 190 tire, all carbon fiber covered bodywork.Tags: None

Are your cylinders O-ringed? If so, have them make a good copper gasket for you.
If not, have them make a nice MLS one for you.

Thanks for your reply. I don't think it's oringed. What does MLS stand for? Thanks in advance.1981 GS 1100e turbo, 83 motor, turbo pistons, new head, new turbo, backed and welded clutch basket, Dyna S ignition, cbr 929 front end, gsxr 750 rear end with 190 tire, all carbon fiber covered bodywork.

All day and no one else replied? Anywho, as apparently none of the regular posters seem to know, MLS is for multi layered steel.

Not sure if you mentioned but how much boost are you running. And all the pros will say it should be studded top and bottom.

I just have stock 850 engine and my head gasket needs to be replaced..... I am guessing I don't have to have a head gasket made??

I use Bike Bandit for OEM parts.
Of course different combinations of pump gas, timing, boost and fuel pressure, it won't matter what you have for gaskets, studs or O rings. You can squeeze out a copper gasket like it was putty and turn your pistons into ashtrays.
