    Taco drive problems.....

    Hi all.
    Ive rebuilt my gs850 engine but didnt have a tacho drive, so i left it out...
    Ive tried to plug the hole.with....
    1) liquid metal (didnt work)
    2) exhaust paste (works better but not 100%)

    Is there something i can use that will seal the hole in the head?

    Has anyone got a spare tacho drive.i could buy?

    Thank you in advance.

    Xxx

    Ps. Here's a thought...
    What if i had a tube running from the head, down to the filler cap.......

    Would this work?

                I saw the title and thought someone was having trouble finding a Mexican restaurant. Come here, we have as many as 5 in the same shopping center. They last a few months then someone else thinks they can make it work. If I was a loan officer and someone came in asking for money to open a Mexican restaurant I'd ask if they were crazy.

                  Any chance any of that stuff could have gotten into the head? I think that wouldn't be good...

                  Ed gave you OEM p/n, best bet in my book.
