well hasent changed much. everything still seems like normal? the onlything that i have noticed its powerband difference, and noise and HEY!!!!! MY THREADS ARE NOT SOAPS!!!!!! hahahah well it all started when i was 5...... hahaha no. lol i got a gasket and used that to seal the leaks from head to flange, and i got a new flange from yamaha28 and that sealed the leak from flange to pipe. i tried aa ton of other things, but not worth mentioning it..... thanks for the rep!
