That is the same as the cometic and as a rule I would not reuse any gasket. I figured M/B was mistaken but rather then takeing a guess at what he was talking about I was hoping to get him to rethink it or clarify it

That's the SAME salesman that sold me reusable condoms ! That dam liar is still at it !! I have 7 kids now instead of 2, because of him!
monster malibu:
I ran my bike yesterday and found coolant leaking around some of the head bolts as soon as the bike fired up.
monster malibu:
Any ideas on how to fix this leak?
maddoggy:
i would suspect that the head is warped and needs lapped to ensure that it is flat. either that or you could have a cracked cylinder. or both of these. i would agree with don and bdi on the gasket issue. never reuse a pressure recieving type gasket, if you do your just asking for headache causing leaks.
