Pull the head back off and start all over again. The mating surfaces between cylinders and o-rings are not seated wright, or they my be broken. check it out. make sure you use a good torque wrench. Call noss and see what they say. Good luck.

Did you grease the o-rings???

I don't know if you received my email. There isn't any oil in the engine there. I think if you used grease to hold the orings in place during installation it probably got warm and oozed out there. I wouldn't worry about it. Wipe or wash it off and see if it continues.

aparently is not oil but coolant, this morning i found coolant in a unusual part of the head, maybe i blew the thing, maybe 2 much compression 150 P.S.I cold, i don't know maybe you guys can help, i also noticed that the cooant level has gone down when it usually doesn't.

I just went out and looked at mine. Did you try to tighten that piece. There are two allen heads holding that in place. Maybe it's just come loose. Otherwise I'd think just an oring or gasket, which ever is in there would fix it. Not a biggy.

Sometimes the coolant level will drop at first as bubbles are purged out of the system. Try tightening the two bolts that hold the fitting on using a 3/16" hex key wrench. If that doesn't fix it, which it should, give me a call.

thanks dave, but i don't think it's the head maybe i just need to re-torque the nuts (they seem tight enough though), i'll exhaust all posibilities going from the easy to the difficult (i think the head will be the last thing to check)

thanks again.

My Noss head leaked from that fitting when I first put it on.I took that fitting off wiped the o-ring and mating parts clean,greased the o-ring and tightened it back up.Never leaked again.
