Hi All,
I've recently developed an oil leak on the right side where the two
halve come together. I would assume that this is my head gasket? I did
not have this leak until I retorqued the head bolts for my valve
adjustment. Does this mean that I over torqued the head?
This disappoints me since I did not have the leak before. Assuming I
keep my eye on oil level, how severe is this type of leak, say on a
scale of one to ten? Does it need to be addressed right away? Is there a
way to stop the leak without taking everything apart? I want to have
some confidence in riding this machine.
Thanks,
-AJ
