You asked this same question on April 7th. I sent you a p-mail explaining that I'd had this same thing happen on 3 different engines and that after making sure the bottom O-Ring wasn't gouged or broken (and that the area is clean) that I had just pushed the jug back in place without problems. You didn't say ... but did the piston rings come out of the cylinder? If so, that's a whole different question. Mike '84 GL 7 pass '85 GL Westy |
