its leaking right in between the cylinder and cases where they connect

Stop!! Do not run it any more like this.

 

Did you re torque the cyl and head nuts a couple times after it was run for a lil bit?

 

They will loosen up a bit sometimes after it's apart and need to be re torqued a couple times till everything settles in.

 

Go re tighten them to see if they were loose and check back in here with whats up then we'll go from there.

do you have a metal reinforced gasket in there i was told with my mods i should run a metal reinforced gasket cause the non reinforced ones will leak

sorry i wasnt on last nigth chris. yeah they are re torqued. it seems like a bad gasket maybe. when its on it doesnt leak but about 5 minutes after it will start to leak
