Hey fellow buffalo riders before I put the cylinders on my 72 gt 750 should I lube the cylinder studs with anti-seize compound, what can I do to stop the water from getting to the studs, I herd the 76 buffalo has seals on the head bolts or studs, can I do the same on the 72, would I use O-rings? your advice is always welcomed.

Re: Bolting down cylinders
A definite 'yes' to the anti-seize compound. I use the high temp Permatex, but there are other brands. And the washers you need are still available from Suzuki under part number 09168-14008. You can read about it in service bulletin GT5 here. Cost should be around $3.18 a piece in USD.smokin wrote:Hey fellow buffalo riders before I put the cylinders on my 72 gt 750 should I lube the cylinder studs with anti-seize compound, what can I do to stop the water from getting to the studs, I herd the 76 buffalo has seals on the head bolts or studs, can I do the same on the 72, would I use O-rings? your advice is always welcomed.

I wonder how well Stat O Seals would work , 9/16" looks like it would be a good fit ? http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_ ... on=product
