Hi all,
At long last I’ve finally got my MKIII’s rebuilt head back from the very gracious Leo Geoff!
He took off my 2 to 1 Mikuni adapter in the process, and so I need to reorder gaskets. I see that the previous owner had quite a thick set of gaskets on it, perhaps more like spacers.
I’ve seen things like this used to isolate engine heat, but was curious how necessary they are. I wanted to know if any other folks have used spacers and if so what they think of them. Do they serve their purpose well on a Commando or are stock gaskets generally fine for a single Mikuni setup?
The previous owner also had an oil cooler equipped which I’ve deleted. Generally I’ve been trying to remove unnecessary upgrades, though I think I will keep the single Mikuni for the time being.
Thanks for your help,
Anthony
