hey all, i have to retension the head on my g16b, but im not so keen to have to take the cam and rocker gear off to do so.
I know suzisport have a tool that allows them to tighten it without removing the cam, does anyone know how to make this tool, or any other way around this? thanks

Why do you need to re-tension?

Hi-jack but similar question,

Block is good, Head is good, But there is an oil leak betwen the two. Should i put a new gasket to fix it?

Yep. Whether you machine and check the head or not is up to you

Mondo says that there is a blue line on the head gasket. What does that mean?

A blue circle?? If so it's most likely a monotorque gasket. Don't worry about retensioning :wink:
