what do the plugs look like after a WOT plug chop?

sounds good man thanx!!!

I've heard that detonation can cause plugs to come loose.

No I mean to help seal the gaskets. Spreading a light coat of it on both sides of the gaskets to help them stick.

Can yamabond be used on base and headgaskets? Can it withstand the heat and pressure?

Ok I took the cylinders off I can see where the gaskets arent sealing around both plugs. The rubber plugs don't seem like they had a good seal. All the sealant stuff I put on the plugs and down in the hole is gone. What kind of sealant should I use on these rubber plugs? RTV? High temp RTV? I used gasket shelac last time. The book says to use GASKASINCH,what the hell is that?

ratio is 40:1 golden spectro. Man I'm dead positive its not trany oil. When I changed the base gaskets yesterday they had antifreeze marks on them where the plugs are and had antifreeze in the lower crank area. I just checked the radiator and hoses and they are not clogged. I know its not the crank seal because its coming from both the left and right pipes.

Water pump impeller looked fine when appart. I can't hardly even tell if the coolant is circulating with the cap off. It deffinetly doesn't rise when it gets hot. I took the cap off the radiator when it was hot and nothin sprayed out??

What O-Ring are you reffering to?

21 huh? Long time drinker/first time legal??? Go from bar to bar and tell them its your 21st they will hook you up for free.

is it possible that the radiator is building to much pressure and spewing the collant into the cylinders through the rubber plugs. Maybe the raiator is clogged? I can run it with the cap off the radiator and it wont overflow but it gets hot???

yup

The shits dripping out both pipes now?? wtf? The right pipe is dripping bad, the left pipe is dripping about half of what the right one is. Under the right side pipe I seriously have about a twelve inch cicle of black oil on the concrette just from it idling!! I'm dead possitive everything is sealed in the lower end. Everthing was torqued to spec with an inch pound torque wrench checked everywhere for cracks/pinholes in castings. I really really really have no clue what to do.

I think I spoke to soon. It's still dripping out that right side pipe. At one point it was dripping out both pipes??? I'm wondering if the carb is crap? It seems to run fine but I still don't have any idle adjustment. I think it's time to get the 12 guage out after it.

Back together and running now!!! NO SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pulled the rubber plugs out and they didn't have any kind of sealant on them. So I put gasket shelac all over them and down in the hole they go in. I also Used a tip off of a tube of rtv and put it on my tube of yamabond,worked good. I put that stuff on everything that had a mating surface and put it on thick. It barely smokes out the right side and hardly any out the left,,,better than my buddies brand new banshee. I want to say thanx to everyone who helped me get this figured out, I owe you one. GREAT SITE!
