Message: [QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 659951, member: 21529"] Well if the head gsk is leaking (not that uncommon on an old bike, mine was) then the head gasket will only take up so much slack. Pull the head & make sure it is flat, -a light skim, you can carefully use a flat (new) fine oil stone in figure 8 if not too bad. Then a new head gasket & file the head stay holes a little looser. They pull on the head as an older frame flexes causing head sealing problems. [/QUOTE]
