[NSRCA-discussion] Desperate

[John Konneker]

Jason,
I'll try to track that down.  It seems that it's confined to the exhaust side.  Very clear residue.  Exhaust...?  Raw fuel..?
Man I just don't know...

What about the o-rings around the valves

It started just before my NMP header split but continued after replacing with a Hatori header and 821 muffler.  I'm getting pretty desperate trying to find it.  I have replaced all the fuel lines.  I have snugged up the flange that screws in to the head.  I have retightened the header flange.  I have checked the valve cover gasket.  I have checked the head bolts but it still leaks.  I consider the leak bad enough that if I don't get it fixed by tomorrow I will have to miss my second contest in a row because of it.  It really soaks the inside of the engine compartment on the left (exhause) side.  Bad enough that when I run my finger down the firewall it is wet with oil.  The engine mount beams on the bottom sides are almost dripping.  Any thoughts?Thanks!JLK
