Steven,
Thanks.....I guess I could have saved the "cyber paper" had I been smart =
enough to actually look in my copy of Guzziology before seeking the =
wisdom of the list. See what no riding and 50cm (near 20 inches) of snow =
does to a person's brain :-)
To reiterate what you said...and to quote Guzziology (page 4-25):
"...an o-ring is placed between the base gasket and the cylinder on the =
two short studs for each cylinder - right against the little tapers on =
the base gasket surface of the cylinders. On the long studs the o-rings =
go between the head and the rocker arm support where they fit the tapers =
provided in the rocker support...."
Stated later in the section Dave says:
...." According to the early parts book, the V700 doesn't use the =
o-rings. The typical engine parts from this model don't have the =
appropriate tapers in the bottom of the cylinders, top of the heads, and =
bottom of the rocker support. Some do, especially later produced =
replacement parts. The only way to tell is to look at your engine =
parts...."
Sounds easy enough...and clear enough. Just look :-)
Thanks again to all.... Ian

Hi Ian, I don't have a manual in front of me for the V700 but I =
believe it's the same as an ambassador for o-rings. Total 6 per =
cylinder. Between the cylinder and crankcase one each over the short =
studs. There will be a chamfer under those 2 stud holes on the bottom of =
the cyl. to confirm. If you're not that deep, then the other 4 rings go =
between the top of the head and the iron rocker housing. Again there =
will be a chamfer on the top of the head in those 4 holes to confirm =
this. They do NOT go between head and cylinder.
