beans... I know there are some of us that joke around with replies, even to
serious issues like your motor not running right. Eventually someone will come
through with the right answer(s) and everyone will be happy again. I think we
all understand your frustration. Glad to hear it's all good and when Chris burns
up a motor and comes to the list asking what to do, you can tell him to get a
YS...ROFLMAO... Good Luck and HAVE FUN!!!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Update...I hope...<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>First I wish to apoligize to the list
if it seemed I was a little frustrated last night. I was and I
let it show. I am sorry.<BR>Now for the good news...I think.
<BR>Just got finished running the motor on the stand. Earlier today it
appeared the head gasket was leaking. But I need to back up a little
first. <BR>I had a new, unused 1.60 in the box. Last night I
decided I would put it on the Focus this morning and run it. I still
wasn't convinced I would make the Menomonee Falls contest this weekend since I
was afraid I would not have the motor broken in well enough for a reliable
idle.<BR>All I need is to get caught at the bottom of a stall turn way out and
down wind with a dead motor. When I tried to run the new
motor a pretty severe mechanical issue raised it's head.
Richard graciously agreed to warranty the motor but trying to run it was
absolutley out of the question.<BR>So...there I was with two motors going
back. He convinced me that I should be able to find the leak...like so
many of you tried to. He agreed that I could take what I needed off the
new motor. Long story short I replaced the head gasket and after running
it for about half a tank on the stand it seems dry. I'm about to go out
and finish the tank but it looks good so far. <BR>Thanks to all of
you for the advice and suggestions. I tried to run down each
and every one. In the process I learned a lot!<BR>That's what it's all
about.<BR>A very big thank you!!!<BR>See you in Wisconsin
tomorrow!<BR>:-)<BR>JLK<BR><BR><BR>

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></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
