The hose clamps to hold the rings in place is a genious idea!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

🤘 It is in a few service manuals and works pretty decent

Thanks for sharing these insights....big help!! I'm working myself on a gs 450 from 81. I have a question. Do you use sealant on the gaskets; 1 side 2 sides or not at all? I have been looking on some forums and I find all kinds of advise. I tend to go for no sealant but I don't want a leak either. Whats your view on this?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thats a good question and one there will never be a 100% answer to lol. I typically never put a gasket on dry as I need stuff to be fixed the first time and will use generally a very thin film of grey permatex on both sides. I have seen a person use white lithium grease which I want to try

Hey man, great video. Should come in handy. Did you have a hard time getting the top end out without removing the motor? I'll be changing head gasket on a buddies bike and would like to leave it in if it would be easier. Thanks!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thank you and no, luckily these bikes have plenty of room to do the job in-frame. A SOHC CB750 though......different story!
