Spacer Seal
Need to change the intake gaskets on my motorcycle….?
There is a small leak on the in take spacer and reed valve, what can I do when I replace the gaskets so no air leaks.
Have used “permatex” sealer but maybe I am not doing some thing right so full sealing is achieved. fill me in the procedure.
Clean all surfaces, but DON’T SCRATCH OR DING THEM!!! You will get a leak for sure that way – it’s a real gentle thing, esp, since the parts are aluminum, plastic, etc. Also make sure the reed carrier isn’t cracked or messed up.
Then, get the correct gaskets – use those with just a LITTLE sealer (permatex or whatnot) on the flats – NOT A LOT – just enough to make a really thin film, otherwise it will leak. Like paper thin. (I use that copper gasket compound stuff because it ends up thin like that. Too much permatex goop will make you miserable.)
DON’T OVERTIGHTEN – That will make it warp and cause leaks. This is one place where knowing what torque the factory book says and using a torque wrench – my stinking kawi dirtbike taught me this the hard way, will never do that again. It’s prolly in INCH-POUNDS which is the little torque wrench. GENTLE, OK?
IF it’s already warped , you *might* be able to find someone with like a milling machine to make everything flat again so it will seal right, or find parts at Cycle Salvage that aren’t scraped to &#!t or warped. Usually, tho, the leaks are from soneone scraping off gasket and scratching the aluminum, which sux!
Now – you *can* try to file it if it’s really bogusly scratched to $#!t, but I way DO NOT recommend it – it works 1 time out of 100, and will make expensive junk fast. I watched a friend ruin a cylinder on an H5 when he thought he could file his intake smooth (with an old nasty file) and it never sealed right – just so you know.
Good luck!!
