Default BMW R100RS leaking rocker cover

Still bloody leaking. Next step is either grin and bear it or pull
rocker cover again and use some silastic gasket type cement as well as
gasket, or get cover machined flat.


You know that this unique motorcycle with heated food pegs .. er .. the
boxer, tends to fall on the covers (depending on the drivers skills).
Thus, they get easily warped. You either have to check that they are
flat (the covers, not the head) or (if they are flat) use a decend
sealing like hylomar or my beloved Locktite 5205 (or a number quite near
that).
As others sayd, no big deal getting it flat on a sanding paper.
