have you ever removed the head or even loosened it. |
I had the head off when I flooded it out when I first got it. I did reuse the gasket but torqued it properly - and there are no signs of a gross leak and compression is very tight. I suppose it could leak when hot. But at higher RPM with partial choking it was running fine......could have not been hot enough to leak...hmm.....Well I did order a new head gasket, just in case. I'll do Norm's glass plate and Al paint techniques....
Butt gasket - it does not appear to be leaking, but why would a leak down there cause such a problem? Why is the but seal anymore critical than the case half (down the center) seal?
