Envoyé de mon SM-G965W en utilisant Tapatalk On the top and bottom of both reed blocks. Not sure if between boot and block or block and cylinder. It also has a ton of little bubbles coming around some of the holes that the mounting bolts go in. I wasn’t shy with gasket maker either. Shit still leaks though 😡 Quote

Put it on and forgot about it. I’ll give it another try, but this will be the 3rd or 4th attempt. After that i might just give it awaySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Maybe this is my problem. Didn’t think about doing that at all. Also, I took your advice on getting frame powder coated. I love the colorsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Ayesully810 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 I bet if half the people with healthy running bikes pressure tested their motors they would have little leaks here and there. With that said, use 3 bond on every surface if it bothers you that much. cylinder face, both sides of 1st gasket, on reed block perimeter, and both faces of the last gasket. 1 Quote

It won’t be a show piece by any means but I’ll be happy with it for now haha. Here’s how the silver vein came out:Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
