[NSRCA-discussion] Desperate

[adriancwong at earthlink.net]

John,

Check and make sure the valve cover does not have any high spot. Use real fine sand paper and wet sand the valve cover on a flat service. Also, examine the check valve right next to the glow plug, it has known to leak fuel. 

If all else fail, you may have to replace all gaskets and O rings.

Good luck,

Adrian

>I have a bad fuel/exhaust leak on my YS 1.60.  It started just before my NMP header split but continued after replacing with

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.
