Regular gasket material won't hold up to the exhaust. You need either a material meant for exhaust or you can try high temp copper RTV or both.

It might work for you with the stock head and higher squish, if the engine is left fairly mild?
I would suggest some kind of cylinder head temp gauge so you can see the temp.
The rubber/fiber stuff work pretty good IMO Brent.

I still need to check my squish. Bit i have some clearance issues with this pipe. It hits my center stand when the shock compresses then gets stuck on it.

Well i just tried to check my squish. I used some solder that was 3.15mm thick. It didnt even get squished. I could just barely feel the piston hitting it... what do i do now

How thick of base gasket total? Maybe you can remove one, or use a thinner one?
Other than that it will take some machine work. Do you even have a head with a squish band in it?

Same ? I asked him in my thread.
Also what type of head gasket are u using. U can maybe eliminate the gasket unless it is the o-ring type. If it is the flat copper type, just give the head and jug a good coat of copper spray, let it get semi set before putting it back together.

The base gasket is 1.6mm thick and the head gasket is a copper one with a very thin coating of copper rtv on it.

How far below deck does the crown of your piston raise to? Also, tge gasket should crush a little as it is torqued down.

I ended up cutting out the center stand.... The bottom of your motor might have the brackets to install a center stand on the actual motor? My work space is only that good when my wife is gone and i can drag the scooter inside. I use that exact same lamp. |

I seemed to be running fine at partial throttle and wot but it has ALOT of vibration at idle and if i dont keep the throttle opened a bit when i stop it will drop rpms after a few seconds and die.
