Valve adjustment, new valve cover gasket?
« on: November 12, 2006, 07:32:48 PM »
I haven't yet taken mine apart yet, but I wanted to know if i needed a new gasket if I did. And if so, is this still something I can get from Suzuki? Or do I need to go to an outside manufacturer?

Regards,
Steve

It's reusable.  You just need a dab of sealant on the cam caps.  As of about 2 years ago, Zuk still stocked them.
