Its Alive And Runs Great!

There is really no fix for the oil leak unless you take head or the front cover off and somehow can put sealant on both sides of the gasket. The engine is going to have some air pressure built and will evetually blow the sealant out and you can't force it in because the sealant won't stick to anything with oil on it. It is a pain in the butt for sure, but in the long run, not having oil running down the front of the engine, then down the sides, is worth the extra work.

Even with my modified exhaust it is pretty quiet at idle, but when you get on it..........nice. Get a better, less restrictive muffler system and you will see, or hear what we mean.
