If you're talking about the little rubber sleeves that fit round the dowels, F2 engines should only use 4, seems like your gasket kit was generic aftermarket, as F1's and K7's use all 8.

Yep hairygit I did use 8. So it's just the 4 that go on the pins that I need then? When I stripped it the other build had used 8. Reading the link that Yozzer pinned I'm thinking of ditching all 4/8.
Any thoughts. .?

Thanks.
The pins are flush the rubbers sit high though.

Has he. I'm on the net.
Thanks dude.

Nope. On the f2 you can't. Luckily for me.

Well trigger you were right. So the head went to the shop and he found pitting on number 1 along with a bent valve and two of the exhaust guides were gone. So it's been machined, new guides a new valve and the seats and valves re cut. Looks amazing.
Now the issue is: I've built the engine back and have done a test before putting it back in the frame and the numbers are weird. So before I was getting 1-4 40-150-150-125 now I'm getting 1-4 110-110-115-125. No plugs no carbs and a squirt of thin oil in the bores.
I did notice that the new head gasket that was from DS sat a little funny when on but flattened with the head in place. Could this be the issue? I'm getting a bit stressed over this. Help please.

Hi, while my bike is in bits again I am going to replace the clutch cable as it's a bit tight. This is due to using slightly higher and longer bars. Can anyone recommend a direct replacement that is a 50mm longer?
Thanks.
