Head leaking on trimoto

**old-yellow** · 02-03-2009, 11:12 PM

Here's my problem when I rebuilt my trimoto I used the new style head gasket which is just a piece of copper and I've have had nothing but problems with it leaking I've tried lapping the head on glass, tried using copper coat but this only helped for a little while. So this makes me think If I found one of the old style aluminum crush gasket's that it might solve my problem or do you think that my cylinder is warped some how?

Thanks, Alex

i would try the older gasket first cuz you said that the cooper coat worked so i say its your gasket

By the way it never leaked with the old style head gasket but I tossed it for the new style one.

then i would deff say its the gasket

Also this after I got it back from the machine shop so do think they screwed something up when they bored it out?

thanks, Code200k As far as I know no one has had problems with them I've used them before with no problems so I don't know what to think.

Thanks, Alex
