Desperate-Final Update...I hope...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></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>
