Message: [QUOTE="97cr250, post: 860462, member: 57762"] I rechecked the flatness of the head and cylinder again by doing the old light coat of paint on each surface and sanding on a flat surface. Both are still flat. My new head gasket comes in today, I will put it on and torque it to spec and see if that was the problem all along. Thanks for all the tips! I'll report back after the new gasket is installed and torqued and let you guys know the outcome. I will kick myself if this bike went through 3 head gaskets because of the torque of the bolts. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
