Real Gasket valve adjustment

[Guest]

Hi,

just wanted to inform you all that shipping from US to Belgium (Europe) is currently as fast as flying over. Ordered the gaskets mid last week, delivered by mail yesterday. Now that's service...

Ordered breather gasket and valve cover twice for the two GS1100 GL engines. Should be OK for some time, no ?

best regards

gert

Hi,

I'm a big fan of the Real Gaskets for my bike, and for those GS bikes with the tach gear in the head and not in the valve cover. Mine has gone through 4 or 5 valve checks now. It's starting to get a little beat up so I think I'll be ordering another one soon. I made the mistake of tightening a couple of valve cover bolts a little too much and the gasket is starting to split. If properly torqued (only 15 inch pounds, NOT foot pounds), the gasket should last many years. It's still holding but I'll put on a new one at the next valve check.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
