Motorcycle Repair: mls seepage cold, head gaskets, head gasket


Question
Hello, I have httc heads & pistons(95")(10.5/1Comp.)60G andrews gear drive cams.Twin tec, 42 mikuni.ALL NEW BUILD.Comotec .040 mls head gaskets seep at the extreme back of the back jug, and extreme front of the front jug. But when the engine is warm, no visable leak. Ive tried the butt dyno, Ive realized I need a pro. My question is, the head gasket seepage, normal,(no "o" ring) or tear down andtry a different brand se?
Thanks

Answer
What is happening is as the motor warms up it expands and stop the leaks. Over time they will get worse. You need to tear it back down and put in new gaskets. Personnally, I use James gaskets and never had any problems with them
Good luck and happy riding
