    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just a quick question for someone out there that knows. I am wondering about the half-moon end plugs in the cyclinder head supposed to be soft rubber or hard plastic?

Mine are really hard like plastic. While I was re-installing the cylinder head, I noticed that the manually called them rubber plugs, so I thought that I better get new ones if they are supposed to be soft. I have several little parts that I am ready to order, so I want to get the order in ASAP, once I know if I need new plugs.

Thanks

I just changed mine. They're hard even when new. The new ones feel like rubber coated plastic. I'll cut one up and let you know. Change 'em anyway, cheap insurance. :-D
 
Yep, rubber coated metal. I cut one open myself once! Pretty hard metal too.
