The 1985 Honda Goldwing GL1200 Interstate provide me another opportunity to bring you guys along on the diagnosis, and replacement of the head Gasket. in this video we progress past the radiator, Timing Belts, and Valve Covers to remove the 40 year old heads. I find a special trick to remove the heads from the engine block and use a glass sanding technique to deck the heads and prepare them for installation. a few red herrings show up along the way but we progress through the smoke and get the old aluminum block Goldwing back on the road for hopefully thousands of more miles.
