[QUOTE="motometal, post: 689094, member: 24727"] When I had my first 6 or 8 bikes, I was on a very tight budget. These were bikes that were bought for $5-$100. I don't remember ever even buying a gasket. On one particular '74 Suzuki TM125, I remember immediately taking the top end apart because it supposedly had a race ported engine and I had to see what this was all about (of course otherwise nothing was wrong with it). Using silicone as a base gasket, after re-assembling it I started it up and rode about 300 yards until it seized up. This was because the bike was oil injected, and the cylinder base had a tiny hole for the oil to go through (which I sealed up nicely with the silicone). :| I put on another cylinder, but that race porting on the wrecked one musta been pretty good, because the bike never ran quite the same again.
