Quick question if your head gasket needs replacing should the bike still start?

stuff all for a head gasket... tools mainly sockets and a torque wrench its a 5 minte job. as for it starting depends on how bad the gasket is, if the engines doesnt have enough compression it wont go....

 

[Lucas]

can you give us a few tips or advice on how to do it as iv looked on the web but nothing
cheers

just don't turn over the piston while the head is off cause you could change the timimg.
