    old 200s

    A few years back (prolly back in 01, 02,) i had someone completly rebuild a honda 200s engine for me and i put it on a 185 frame with a 200x carb,. Well From the get go it was leaking oil really bad from the front of the engine where the head meets the jug. Its got a 12:1 compression wiseco piston, which i belive is the culprit. Also, i went really cheap with the head and jug, i got it all off ebay with the wiseco piston included and i have a feeling the head might be warped. So i hate to go and pull the head off and have it still leak. And i really dont have the time to fool with it. Well the things been sitting since i didnt want to run it like that and i really dont feel like pulling the engine off the frame and i really want something to let my little siblings put around on so would anyone have any sugestions on how to fix the leak.

    i was thinking about welding it, I know redneck as hell but its not like im really going to ever take it apart to rebuild it again. I remember trying to jbweld it a long time ago but i dont think it held. But i probably didnt mix the stuff right. I saw some stuff lately called cold weld, Basically like a putty, if i cleand the whole edge really well and use that think it will hold?

    just give me some sugestions

    I have used that stuff before. It worked ok, it didn't stop the leak all the way. (it was on an oil pan). It is worth a shot just be sure to prep the area good.
