I’m having a piss of a time fixing this. Finishing a rebuild, doing leak down test and no matter what I try I still have a leak at the bottom of this reed cage.
I’ve tried two gaskets, I’ve tried one gasket and liquid gasket. I’ve tried both sides being liquid gasket. Each time I’m cleaning the surfaces.
Went to re-torque that bottom right one and it snapped right off. My luck with this engine and it’s screws, snapping so easy. Was able to get it out now need to re-tap it. Anyone know the threads on this? (Asking but I’ll research it.).
I can do the leakdown test without that right side cover and gasket on can’t I? Overall the only bubbles I was seeing and it was a very slow leak but enough for me to notice it was on this reed cage.
Any other suggestions for the next time I give it a go I’d appreciate it.
