I guess I am murphys law. I had it in my head that an oil seal should go on each side of the camshaft. So I got them both on. And it fit the crankcase and head perfect. Of course no room for the fuel pump Doh ! Thanks for that information. I appreciate it. I removed the seal and hope to get...
Reinstalling the head on the right side. When installing the fuel pump it is crushing the cam seal. Am I doing something wrong ? Seems it would ruin the seal. Yes this is my first time doing this on a GL 1000. lol The head is torqed and rocker arms installed. Any one done this lately ? TIA

My honda manual says coat the gasket with liquid sealer. And use Moly disulfide grease on the head bolt threads and washers. It says 38-41 ft. lbs. torque for head bolts.
I just finished cleaning up my right cylinder head. Lapped the valves. I have new gasket ready to install. My Honda manual says use gasket sealer on both sides of the gasket. Also says to put moly on the head bolt threads. I thought head bolts are torqued dry. Any advise appreciated for both of...
