Ok so my bad luck never stops, I went to check the oil the other day after a short ride and noticed it was a bit milky, dreading the sight.... Pulled off the head to find this Looks to me like the head gasket has blown through into the water gallery, the fun continues. Pulled the cylinder gasket off and ripped that too, I'm pretty sure that wasn't sealing that well either. Now I can either get my gasket made by a gasket place down the road, attempt at making them with my girlfriends dad who has experience is making gaskets, or wait a month for my head-gasket from Bill to arrive in the mail...

Suggestions? I'm getting pretty fast at stripping my bike! took me 20 minutes.

 

Personally i would go with pros... especially with a head gasket, there is alot of pressure there. I wouldnt think twice about making a gasket that only has to seal a fluid in, but the head gasket is a little different.

 

Yeah I'm hoping that they can make it, I'd love to be able to ride my bike again but it's starting to look like it's going to be off the road for a while again. Does Bill make the gaskets himself or does another company make them?

 

I dont know, i have to call him very soon about my 351 kit.

 

Can you do me a HUGE favor and ask him about the head gasket for me? A part number or something that could assist me in getting one asap. If you do, one day I will come over to the US and buy you beers

 

Cometic makes the gaskets I believe. If you call them and tell them what it is I bet they can find it.

I wouldn't try to have one made..

 

Here it is -

I would call cometic and ask for it. I tried searching that # on their site and nothing came up.

 

Cheers heaps Cousinlarry, just shot them an email with all the information from the picture you have sent me

 

Notice the "B&B Spec" on the label. Probably won't find this specially-made gasket listed there.

 

Wow! There isn't much material between the water jacket opening and the fire ring. It almost looks like the gasket material blew out into the water port area.
