<div>John what I had to do on mine, and a few others around was remove the valve cover and sand the cover where it meats the head. Just use some fine sand paper on a flat surface, or medium then fine. There is mold flash that sticks up and may cause a leak. Yours sounds worse, but this dried mine up. </div> <div> </div> <div>Brian<BR><BR><B><I>John Konneker <jlkonn@hotmail.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <STYLE> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } </STYLE> 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 <BR>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 <BR>the flange that screws in to the
head. I have retightened the header flange. I have checked the valve cover gasket. I have checked <BR>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. <BR>Any thoughts?<BR>Thanks!<BR>JLK<BR> <BR>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</BLOCKQUOTE><BR><p>
