1990 head gasket
Hey guys, so I'm an avid reader of the forum for years, for its intrinsic value & entertainment. I come in search of the infinite knowledge base and hope to one day contribute...
So I've checked as many post I can stomach & haven't found a definitive solution, so I'm reaching out to the community for help. I have a 1990 cbr600f that I got a few years back as a track bike project. It was last on the road in 2004. Everything seems to be in working order as I've gone over it a number of times. The issue that I've discovered is that it doesn't appear to have any upper head gasket or lower cylinder gasket. I haven't been able to find a kit or set for this old bike. Do any of you have or know where I can get one? I've check ebay, cosmetic, even a few local shops but to no avail. Can I make a head gasket & lower gasket? If so, what should I use? I've seen in the forum some warn against using RTV or some type of gasket in a tube as it won't work, seal, distribute heat...many reasons. Is that valid, can I use an RTV like substance, if so which one? Maybe a gasket material that I can cut out by hand? Any ideas otherwise this bike is getting parked again. Your help and wisdom is desperately in need. HELP, I so want to ride this bike this year.
