Topic: Head gasket Leak

[tlbranth]

With a chunk of granite or thick (1/2" or better) plate glass and some stick-down abrasive paper and some patience, you can true up the head and block yourself.

I re-used as suggested, torqued to 22lbs using Two Tired's torque pattern and Honda gaskets:

5lbs in sequence
10
15
20
22

let it sit overnight then loosen in opposite sequence:

20 (may already be loose)
15
10
5

Then tighten again:

5
10
15
20
22

No oil whatsoever.  Perfect.

Well, tonight i am going to roll it out, clean it off and try the athletes foot spray to try to locate the exact source of the leaks.  If work wasn't taking up so much of my time, I could get things done on this bike
