If you get down south while out here... give me a shout! Would be nice to meet you... I know there are several others here in the SoCal area, too.

And if you want to turn a wrench... I'm up for it;)

Yes. All of you come out here to Willow.

can we set up a tour of the shop JAY ?

If you take a look at Dragbike.com's forums there are posts on how to keep them from leaking as bad. On solution involves using thin walled copper tubing and sleeving some of the head stud holes. Another was making a small metal flap that bolts to the front chain guide in the block and overlaps the cam chain galley into the head.

From what area do these seep from. Have a 1000 LTD that is leaking from the valve cover best I can tell. I was just going to replace the gasket and cam plugs but not so sure now.

Standard engine - most common is the tach cable seal at the engine. Valve covers could, but I have never had any... and of course check torque on the head itself.

Big blocks... at least mine, is seeping from the head gasket. in 1 or 2 spots
