what to do when you find your air leak

[Dougyb]

Ok guys, I have found my air leak, which is where the jug mounts to the bottom end. But what do I do to fix it? New Gasket? The gasket that is leaking was new and put in correctly, and I'm guessing it just broke in wrong... idk but please help, I want to be 100% sure of what Im doing

try to tighten it down and see if that stops it or go with a new OEM or cometic gasket and torque the jug down properly. after re do the leak test and go from there.

New gasket .

New OEM or cometic gasket, 3 heat cycles, re torque. Seems like a pain to do again, but be sure to be sure.

 

[Blaner]

is it by chance a GREEN paper gasket? they are bad news, stick to the graphite ones.

Did you re-torque after heat cycles?

 

[atvmaniac]

If the engine wasnt properly heat cycled and the head bolts werent torqued properly that would most likely be the cause

Stick to the factory made gaskets(no OEM and dont reuse the stock gaskets ), the ones made of metal, theyre more reliable bc the paper ones have been known to mess up real good
