Replacing head gasket 80 gs850

[520eek]

Okay...update time! I have got about 75 miles on since I put it back together. The "clatter" is diminished greatly, still have a little bit. I am thinking that it should be a tad quieter though...perhaps at the re torque and valve check.

Runs good and strong through out all gears!

No leaks noted at this time. I am figuring around 500 miles or so before I re torque. Does this sound about right?

I did mine this Summer and left it about 400 miles before checking and got nearly half a turn which is too much in my book.
I would check it after 5 - 10 heat cycles or 100 - 200 miles.
I expect it would depend on what gaskets you use. I didn't use oem.
