forgot to mount dowel nº5....duhhhhhhh
But the question is : i have all torque down and i cant reuse the new head gasket, but i noticed that the previus one is all metal can i reuse that one? Or its best to order a new one?
should the starter spin when i turn the flywheel bolt?( i noticed this when doing the timing)

Don't worry about the dowel pin, lots of guys aren't running them. I'm not sure about the starter isssue

 

[oldwarriorrider]

If you already pulled it apart, you should be able to reuse the head gasket once.

Depending on which way your turning the flywheel determines a yes or no to the question about the starter

thanks guys i havnt dismount it yet, going to run it like this!!

dune racer, the starter moves both ways...

I guess you can run it without that dowel but I personally wouldn't. It helps locate the Cylinder.

ok thanks, will follow your advice and start over again... better safe than sorry right?

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Exactly. You'll feel better about it.

I'm running only one of them. Works fine. It just aids in putting it together.

When you start accepting half ass work you'll become a half ass mechanic with a half ass machine. Half ass work usually flows from one area to another. Will it live without it? Prolly will and be fine but if it didn't need it Yamaha wouldn't have put it there.

just finish putting the dowel and has i was removing the head i noticed the my new gasket is 1.1mm thick, the old one is 0.8mm. will my comp ratio be 10.25:1 with the 1.1mm gasket?

 

[duneracerweston]

Pretty much.
