I know there are many biking heads in this place so i thought i would share the woes of one of my rides...I own a Triumph Rocket3 in my ride collection and recently noticed coolant loss with no leaking and emulsified oil..Off with its head to see whats going on..found that the liner on number 3 is 5 thou lower than the rest,these liners cant drop due to there design and Triumph do no shim kits for them either..So its been made that way and has took 24,000 to kill the gasket. Only solution i can see is get a liner sized 5 thou copper shim for the top of the liner between the head gasket and block..
