    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

oil leak

Well, on the way home yesterday, i thought i smelled something "off"....found a small puddle (less than a teaspoon) of oil on the garage floor this morning. Looks like the leak is from the front area of the head gasket, I have had valve cover leaks before, but i suspect the bolt orings under the valve cover are leaking this time. Easy enough, just deciding whether to deal with it now or wait till spring, riding season (for me, anyway) is basically done up here anyway. More work for me.
 
You mean the rings around the studs just below the nut? I have the same probem but no answer yet unfortunately. I will replace the rings first on mine before I remove the cylinderhead .
 
no tach cable on this one. yes, those orings. common leak point. hoping that will be it.
 
You have plugged it with the 1000S plug? All three of my '83 1100E engines have a tach. cable on the cam cover.
