Leaking?

[BrockMoto]

I just rebuilt my top end and am in the process of breaking it in now, I am leaking a mistery subsance, I am letting it drip into a mason jar so i can see what it is....(pray for that part to take a while!!!) i am not sure but think it might be from the base of my left cylinder.. if so can i use silicon to aid the gasket ( which is new ) and if i do how do i get the cylinder off next time?!?!?! :baseball_wibble:

Well if it is not really clean, now is a great time to hose it off with a pressure washer. Then you should see where it is cvoming from. Check the easy stuff first, hose clamps, and make sure it was not just overflow from the reservior. THen check around the base of the cylinders and near the head. Or the water pump area. That should cover most spots. That sucks, but just look around, hopefully it is something simple and not that base gasket. I would not use silicon if it was that, buy a new gasket. But if it is the gasket check the surfaces for flatness before putting on another. Let us know.

took the carbs off and looked at the back side and the hose on the back was leaking.... the antifreeze was running down aroun the base of the cylinders.... i replaced the hose and that fixed the leak

thanks alot
