    I was scared by the title and thought for sure you had torn up your new housings...... so i am glad to hear you didn't

    coolant seals are nothing....just make sure to double check your irons to make sure they didn't warp on ya

    You said it is getting hard to start though..... so you are loosing compression somewhere, and i highly doubt you are loosing much through the coolant seals......... so hopefully something isn't chewed up inside, and maybe just some cracked corner seals

    good luck though 🙂

        I think the reason for the hard start is the spark plugs. With the 850 primarys i am running pretty rich and so I am sure that my plugs are fouled out being I havent changed them since May. I started it tonight for about a minute or so then it died. I then tried starting it again but it wouldnt turn over. Who knows! ill look at it when I have more time.

                  Sounds like the perfect thing to keep you busy over the winter. Go for it.

                          jons 13b lost all compression on the rear rotor a week or so ago. blowing seals is the cool thing to do lol
