Rocker box gaskets

[jarnett]

Its actually from top of exhaust tube and bottom of intake tube in the rear. Hopefully i dont have to remove the rocker box cover..im hoping i just didnt get the pushrod cover on all the way of maybe need to readjust them...

Were there o-rings?

 

[jarnett]

Well i never saw any. Everything looked like one the video in how to.

 

[jarnett]

Its a 107...if that helps...the one in the vid was a 117 but the pushrods look the same maybe a little longer

 

[jarnett]

Ok think i have it fixed...o rings not seated..whew!

 

[stlmikie]

Good job. I bet your heart sank pretty quick on that one.

 

[jarnett]

Oh yeah...especially when i just saw the puddle of oil on the ground...took it for a good ride and still no leaks..runs a little better now..gonna polish her back up tomorrow.

Did you have to get a new gasket after torquing it down so hard?

 

[jarnett]

Yeah i used the second one in the pack. The first one was a little messed up around a couple bolt holes and i didnt wanna chance it..i rode all day today and no leaks. Actually didnt even see any oil mist from the air cleaner either. Im sure ill see some when the filter is saturated. I now see that i had a slight loss of power on acceleration before also. Must have been losing a little compression before. Glad its all back together and running good. Now if i could just find the sweet spot on the clutch adjustment shell be perfect. Still has a slight creep and gears are kinda iffy sometimes. Not iffy enough to bother me much but i like to tinker for perfection lol
