Here's a cool picture of a blown head gasket on my recently rebuilt Harley Sportster. A reminder to you all: remember to re-torque those head bolts after getting new cylinders and pistons, regardless of what your mechanic tells you ; )
So I'm now in the process of replacing this gasket and fixing some other things that appear to be, er... mis-done. Though I've never done this before, I'm guessing that I'll do a better job than the local Harley Dealer.
I'll keep you posted. A little value-add supsense for the many readers of my blog (hi mom!).
