Title: Cylinder gasket, lower
Post by Mekh on 02/24/17 at 06:18:52

Hi,

I'm about to assemble my engine again, but when I put on the lower cylinder gasket it looks like it does not fit properly on the outer right side.

The package of gasket I ordered is labelled with Suzuki LS 650 '86-02.
Mine is a '93.

What do you think?

I have only replaced one base gasket so far....it fit a lot better than that as I recall.

Good enough to use.

It almost looks as though it's been been bent. :-? Do you have access to another engine (even assembled) that you could compare it too?

To me it looks like the gasket is cut straight ,and the case is cast funny,I think you could use it as there is little pressure in this area when the piston moves down the air moves through the "huff" tube into the air box. How does the cylinder match up if the gasket is placed on the bottom of it? If it really bothers you I would get some material and cut my own using a pattern based on the case top and the bottom of the cylinder.

I just replaced my base gasket not too long ago, and it fit a lot better than that.
You bought a "package of gasket"? From where?
Just asking, as that does not look like OEM to me.

An OEM gasket has some sealant on it.

Would this be a place for a shot of Copper Coat?

No. That is only for the head gasket.

On the base gasket, I used a very thin layer of Yamabond, hoping it will help to release the gasket if I ever have to take it apart again.
Took me a week to clean that gasket off..

Sorry about the long reply time... Have had some family challenges...

I ended out ordering an original gasket, but that one to be almost identical. Engine is assembled now, and I will hopefully get to try and fire it up some time over the next week.
