providing your cylinder and head mating surfaces are FLAT...OEM or Cometic head gaskets are the way to go.
did you lap the cylinder and head to be sure they were flat before assembly?
Jonnymotox:
Yeah, just had it plated and had the cylinder and Head surfaced, I never have used anything on my Honda CR500s studs or Head nuts and Had this Happen, I have some Yama-Bond and I'm going back in the garage and giving it another go
Thanks again

Great read. I just picked up a used 03 that I'm in the process of rebuilding. Pretty neat bike. Always wanted one, now I have one. It's a crate bike but i have almost everything for it minus the jug, head, piston and kips set up. Can't wait to hear this thing run. Ill be looking and asking for a lot of advise hope that's ok with everyone. Thanks for the great read.
