I'm just going to build my top end. I've Yamaha 110 conrod in a standard SIL barrel with a standard size SR piston, I have the 3mm packing plate but the head is not skimmed so to get the squish I may have to put the packing plate on with gasket seal......
Has anyone tried this set up on a SIL barrel? Any tips?

I use a packer on my RB with just loctite gasket sealer, no leaks so far.

When I use packers with no gaskets I use 1104 gasket sealer. Very good for gasketless joins.

For heads this stuff is the best I've ever used and I swear by it now. Its been stopping brit bikes leaking for years!

cheers for that wellseal link i've been searching for that for ages!

Thanks very much for the feedback.

Which would you compromise the better squish or the lower port timings?

Anyone on my later comment?
