    Cam end plugs leak after rebuild

    Guys just finished top end rebuild on my Gs850GL all great apart from small weep from the Cam end plugs
    I gave them a bit of gasket seal but sill leaking
    I have got some new ones i presuming the old ones have slightly shrunk
    would it be best to put some gasket goo on when i fit or should they be ok as they are
    TIA

    if all nice and clean. just a lick of sealant along the top is all that should be needed. OEM parts?

      We've probably all suffered at one time or another. Here's mine doing the same (see 3:25):



      You just have to take off the cam cover and try again. Use new rubbers, they are nice and pliable and just a touch of goo around the D shape and a little either side. Make sure of course that the surfaces are clean and not gouged. I also put the slightest smear of grease on the gasket all the way round but it's probably not necessary.
