update on gasket and o-ring job

Hi all,

Well the gasket and o-ring jobs is finally done. I started on this back in November or December? It's been so long that I just can't remember. Yesterday marked the end to this most recent repair. I cringed a little when I hit the starter but it was all fine. I took it out and ran it through all the gears and it never missed a beat. Now it's time to change the oil and filter, going synthetic this time since I have no more leaks. Well that's it for now.

Ride safe,

Scott
 
Take it out and load the rings (medium heavy throttle). Helps seat the rings. Some people will suggest waiting for some miles before using synthetic oil but many new engines come with synthetic oil from new so I don't see the harm.

Enjoy.

he means carb o-rings not piston rings, right?

I'm think'n piston rings.

I missed Scott's original thread, but if he completed a job that involved gaskets, took months, and resulted in reduced oil leakage, dollars to donuts he replaced his base gasket.

Hey Scott, you take any pictures by chance?
