Head gasket

28 Jan 2020 17:55

Hello I am going to build a 1075 in an engine I have laying around, so I am really using spares I already have .The cylinders are not ringed, can I use the cooper head h
Gasket without ORings?
I have a wiseco brand new gasket that I could use.
Thanks

I grew up riding and fixing all sort of small bike until I inherited A 1977 GS 750 when I was 16, that changed my life completely I love metric bike and I own a few fully working and have some projects.

I personally would not use a copper head gasket without the cylinders having the wire o ring .
Get a nice new proper gasket from Cometic or a OEM

I have the OEM Gaskets as well but the thing is that being Bored to 1075 the cylinder bore is bigger than the gasket and that's not good. the gasket could be bigger the bore but if it is smaller will burn.
I have RC comp metal With Oring shape gaske and OEM but that's only good for stock not oversized , I have the Wiseco copper from a 1200 kit I had.
