AJ,
check to make sure you put the crush washer and plug in over the hole for
the 12o'clock bolt.

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
