turbowrenchhead Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 After some riding this weekend I notice that oil is coming out of the LH pipe at the head. I replaced the o rings in the pipes when I did the motor earlier this spring. Is there a better way to seal it up? Quote
Pastrykiller Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 How are your springs? Do they hold the head pipe on under rpm and load? Quote
turbowrenchhead Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 Springs are new OEM's at the time of the build earlier this spring. I did not apply the copper silicone. I will now. Quote
sheerider11 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah it's either called copper rtv or silicone. Go to an auto parts store. The stuff works great. My flanges on my DM still look new. Zero leaking how's the clean up? I've used red rtv and that shit sucks Quote
sleeper06 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I have never had that issue on any bike check o-ring maybe it burnt Quote
turbowrenchhead Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 I checked the o rings on my last rebuild just a week ago and they were fine. Where can I get thicker O rings? Quote
