Head gasket

(1/2) > >>

shifter:
Can someone  enlighten me if you have to anneal a copper head gasket  before refitting on a S90,   I have done previously  on a BSA 650 A10, not sure these days...

Bryanj:
Yes but dont remember the small hondas having copper gaskets

taysidedragon:
Pure copper gasket, yes. Annealing it softens it so seals better when head bolted down.

shifter:
Yes Bryan there is a  very thin copper gasket not like the old brit bikes , it's so thin I'm wondering if it's soft enough not to anneal

Bryanj:
No always anneal, just be carefull not to melt it!
