A couple of tips. The base gasket surface looked to have traces of an old green fibre/card gasket. Clean this off with a stanley blade held at 90 degrees to the surface.
Also, whenever I put a new head gasket on a liquid cooled bike, I smear a very thin layer of Yamabond or Threebond onto the metal head gasket, by putting latex gloves on and smearing a very thing coating all over both sides with my finger and thumb, just before fitting. With this method, I've never seen a head gasket leak after fitting. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

So i've had the day off to put this back together now i've got a torque wrench that goes low enough.
What do you guys think of this scoring on the piston? Couldnt see it with it in the engine before.

Also now the head and everything is on the camchain sprocket doesnt turn along with the engine. I guess the chain has come off on the bottom sprocket or I havnt put the tensioner guide rail back in right. Only way to really see that is removing the alternator rotor, but I dont think I have the tools for that right now. |

Ok so I bought the right tools to remove the flywheel and found the chain has slipped off. Carefully put everything back together and it seems to run pretty good now. Smoked a little on startup, but that went away after a minuite and it revs nicely all the way up. Still need to give it a run around when it's not so dark to test it properly.
Thanks for all the help everybody |

Thanks will do. I think the plan is to ride it a bit and then drain the oil anyway to get rid of some of the old oil I noticed was still lurking about inside.
Will have to start updating my show & tell thread too |
