operation back on water

[TomLund]

alright after many searches i could not find the gaskets anywhere soooo i bought some ultra copper sealant and made my own. Know i just need my intake gasket to come in. those are supposed to be here. Here is the question if it doesn't work what can happen i think it will be fine i took Richs adviced lets hope it works. At Tanners powersports they thought the steam out the breather might be that the theromstat is a 140 he thought i should put in a 160 any thoughts.



Thanks again hope to see you guys next saturday.

My thermostat is a 140 and I don't get steam.

i don't get alot of blow by but enough i think i am going to run it anyway til it blows. its funny Jason my compression is 140 across the board thats what baffles me.

Hi Tom,  lot's of the motors have a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV Valve) in the valve covers that suck the vapor / blow-by through the intake,  if your's don't have that valve you will see a little vapor, I see it on mine and the motor only has 5 hours on it.  I think it's normal,  when you run a high compression motor cool, thats just my opinion.

Thanks mine actually steam out the breather tube i can see it and shake water out oh well i am running it anyway thats the best i can do for the rest of the season anyway.
