Hi, i have a serious oil leak coming from around the head gasket area on my 94 divvy 600. looks like its coming from around the exhaust ports, front off side corner of the head, and a little around the rocker cover.....now i want to fix the problem before it gets any worse, but im workin on a budget... are you able to use these instant gaskets instead of the 30 quid head gasket? and what should i look for once ive got the head off? as ive only ever taken a 50cc single and 200cc twin apart before... any special tools required? thankyou in advance for any help or advice you can give.

mike No you need a proper head gasket! You sure it's not a cracked oil cooler! |

The problem might be a blown head gasket has the engine been seriously overheated? Are all compressions good?
Engine is canted forwards do any oil from rocker cover or oil cooler will run out of air flow slots at the front of the cylinder head.

IF it's the head gasket (and only IF as these are reliable engines) then who knows what else has gone wrong.
Read the Haynes and start with the simple stuff like oil cooler leaks and rocker cover gasket. It might even be the breather hose and airbox filled with oil. All info is on the forum
