Oil weep from head

<< < (2/4) > >>

Oddjob:
I thought the orings were that odd shaped?, like a turtle neck sweater top, I'm wondering where you managed to source oversize ones of those. I wasn't concerned about the restrictor jets, more the orings surrounding them.

There is an old dodge the American mechanics came up with which they reckoned solved the problem, at the time we didn't adopt it in the UK as the product they used wasn't readily available over here but it is now. I'll leave that until we see whether the retorque works. It will involve a new head gasket though I'm afraid.

Following with interest, my 350 came complete with oil weep between head and barrels.

Scratch that about the extra thick O-rings. Done that many jobs in the past few years my old brain is a jumble. Looking back at old posts shows that the thicker O-rings are for the 750. Dementia strikes again.
A re-torque would be nice as it's quick and easy. No need for taking off air box and carbs or the exhausts, plus it doesn't cost anything.

Bryanj:
You can try it but i have my doubts

Oddjob:
Yeah me too Bryan, it works very rarely in my experience. BUT, worth a pop.
