TurboBanshee420 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 my coolhead had a big one around the deck, one on the top of each dome by the plug, one on each side by the plug hole in the head itself, and one around the dome to seal it on the deck around the piston(these are about 2.75in/dia) Also some red ones for the pipes.

Nutwood 472 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Posted August 28, 2009 Hey man thanks for the info on the cool head o-rings,but listen to this,I found the leak,its in the casting where the power valve slides into,that's why my exhaust is filling up,on the right side.new set of 72mm and they leak,how many times have you heard of this happening,it just sucks that it happen to me,but the good news is the shop i got them from,called DASA racing and since they were new never ran that their still under warranty and send them in and they would port another set and send them to me free of charge.The shop I bought them off of had them sent to DASA to make sure the porting and cases where dialed in,because he had gotten the engine on an trade,brand new lower end,t-Rex 72mm stock stroke,power valve,full drag port,never put together,and it was one of the first ones they did,because the only numbers on it are P-1,but I pick it up cheap and put it together and ran into this problem,but like I said its all good,since the problem is getting fixed,shipped them off today!
