Valve cover gasket part #

[Guest]

I could use a hand finding the correct oem part # for a valve cover gasket on my 83 GS 1100E. I'm looking at 2 gaskets with different part numbers. One is 11173-49202, the other is 11173-49224. My thinking is one is for the 8 valve head the other the 16 valve head. I need the 16 valve head correct number. Thanks before hand.

You can see the sequence for yourself if you go here http://67.15.65.225/spst/1983%20GS1100E,ES/13.htm

The main page is http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

The original part number appears to be
11173-49221

That was superseded by 11173-49222
superseded by 11173-49223
superseded by 11173-49224
superseded by 11173-49224-H17 which is the current part that Suzuki sells for that model. About $20-25

Paul,

Thanks for the help. Looks like these are for a 1981 GS 1100E. From Pauls link I back tracked by year, and found the match. Good deal for someone in need of a valve cover gasket, x 5. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT These average about $24.00 each.

Thanks Again,
Chris

Another handy site is http://www.cpixel.com/bikeparts/part...9224-H17&mfg=1. Once I have the part number I put it in here. In addition to getting prices, it tells me which fiche page it's in which gives mea good idea what is interchangeable between years and models. Very usefull - saves a lot of time searching through the individual fiche pages searching for part numbers.
