So i have a leaky engine, needs new gaskets. 1992 gsx750f, 22k miles. otherwise runs awesome. leak is big enough that I've got to do SOMEthing...it's not just weeping oil that i can wipe off with a rag.
shop told me that on a gasket job like that on an oil-only cooled engine you *HAVE TO* then change out the piston rings and hone the cylinders. no way around it. total cost about $2500.
is that true?---you can't just put in new gaskets and be done with it?? why would someone think that?
Any info you have on this is much appreciated, my knowledge level is pretty low, and thanks very much for your time.
