[NSRCA-discussion] Desperate

[Todd Schmidt]

John, 
Vicente and I had the same problem last year. I always had oil running out the landing gear exits it was so bad. Vicente's was a brand new 160 and mine had about 35 gallon through it. Never could find where it was coming from. Might be time for new gaskets and O rings.
Let me know if you find anything out..

Todd

  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 
  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
