hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 21, 2023 Report Posted February 21, 2023 I'm going with those are normal. All mine are that way. Will not leak if all the gaskets are sealing proper. Quote
Metal_man_Rob Posted February 21, 2023 Report Posted February 21, 2023 OK got it. I’ll take another picture when I get home.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHow did you determine air is leaking out of that spot? Is there actually a hole there? Or is it coming from the reed valve gasket? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk Quote
JPL3 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Posted February 22, 2023 I did a leak test and sprayed it down with soapy water and it was pouring out of thereSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Metal_man_Rob Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 So I wonder if the base gasket is letting enough through to leak out of the stud hole and out from under that nut. Hopped up, who replied earlier, is definitely far more versed in all of this, but, if it were me, and I was 100% the air was coming from that divot, I'd remove the nut and see if the surface under it is damaged. Or if there is fuel/oil under it. Did you check the torque. It's wierd that air is leaking from that spot. It looks like it goes under the nut, though. If the base gasket is bad or the nuts for the cylinder aren't torqued to spec, the air could go through there, I'd imagine. I don't see an actual hole in that divot, though. It just looks like displaced material. But the location makes me think the nut isn't seated properly, the cylinders weren't torqued right or the base gasket is bad... or a combo of it all.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 1 Quote
JPL3 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Posted February 22, 2023 I think your right man. I don’t think the bolt is seated because of the divot. I’ll take a pic of it with the bolt out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Metal_man_Rob Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Heading to bed now but I can't think of anything else that would cause a leak in that exact spot. Just sucks, once you dig into one little it turns into a rabbit hole. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 1 Quote
JPL3 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Posted February 22, 2023 Sounds good man! About to hit the hay myself. It is definitely a pain in the butt with these air leaks! It is what it is thoughSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Get shorter intake bolts. Put 1211 on them and run them in. Problem solved. Quote
JPL3 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Posted February 22, 2023 Cool thanks man. What is 1211? Are you talking about the bolt next to the divot that leaks air?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

JPL3 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Posted February 22, 2023 So you think the leak is coming through intake? It feels like it’s coming from the cylinder bolt where that divot is. But maybe your right about the intake leaking. I’ll try it out. Thanks man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
