Title: Head Gasket Post by sasson on 06/21/07 at 00:07:07 I have a 1986 savage and I am new to this forum. " a weekend M/C mechanic" that have seen the bike said that it needs the head gsket replaced. The bike has 21,000 km. There is some oil on the lower half of the cylinder, but not much. 1. is it common? 2. what should it cost? 3. is there any "quick fix" any advice will be appreciated. Thanks
