Re: Oil Leak / Cylinder gasket replacement?!?
I would not ride the GZ until it's fixed, the front left cylinder stud hole is also the oil feed to the top of the cylinder head. If whats left of the gasket lets go there goes your engine!

Re: Replacement Tires
I did do a search and did not find much info, I know that they don't need to match but I like them to.

The GZ does use a "enricher" & my '73 GT750 also uses a enricher...

Re: Cross Threaded Spark Plug Hole
Just follow the manual, stuff a clean rag under the cam shaft gear so you dont drop any bolts into the crankcase. Also be sure to replace the cylinder base gasket.

Re: Cross Threaded Spark Plug Hole
Same here! The thread size is 12x1.25mm 98.9% of auto engines use 14x1.25 threads & all thread chasers that I have seen are 14mm/18mm so you will need a long reach tap. You may be able to blow out...

Re: Rebuilt the engine!
If you ignore the popping sound and keep running the engine you could end up with a cracked cylinder head, don't ask me how I know.

Re: Rebuilt the engine!
Anytime you remove the cylinder head you should always replace the base gasket or you will have a oil leak, don't ask me how I know.
