    Did you ring any of the gasket manufacturers? Is it possible to make one?

    I.e. get an appropriate material and cut, punch/file it to shape?
    $2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details

    Without knowing the chassis number, Sportzone in Chch wasn't of any help since they say the year/model details I gave wasn't enough to narrow it down.

    Tried Australia?
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    All TL head gaskets are the same 11141-02F01 (same but F00 for the 97 TLS)

    11141-02F01 suits all TL1000S 97/01 and TL1000R 98/03
    The only exceptions are the race kit head and base gaskets which are selective fit to suit compression ratio and squish.

    Hmmm! I think I know of a dead TL-R lying around, the owner may be willing to give you the one off his rear cylinder....

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Once again i have to bump this thread to try and get some kind of reply.

    On two occasions now i have politely asked for this head gasket to be replaced as was promised (Around $60)
    The last PM sent was read with no reply,i will take it for granted this person has no intention of doing the right thing after i helped him out with a new part that was not available here at the time (late Dec) except for a back order X Japan.

    Since Jas elected to bring this classic zed guy ? into it i will PM him next as it seems he is tied up up with Jas.
    Why is it people have all the time in the world when they want something but trying to get it back is a drama.
    What the !@#$ happened to integrity
