Now you tell me! Now that my engine is buttoned up. I know how to keep it from leaking - I won't put any oil in it and start it!  ;)  Damn, I was ~2 weeks away  :'(

Thats funny! However I suggest you put oil in it when you start it.... :P

I found these pictures buried in the forum. I believe these were posted by MReick when he was doing some engine work for a member. I like the use of rubberbands here. I plan on trying this procedure. I have also fashioned some wood to use underneath the pistons to help prop them up when I go to install the jugs...

So I need some tips here. What is everyone thoughts on using the Hylomar on the base and head gaskets?

Old Scrambler:
Have only used Honda and Yamaha-bond in very thin coats..............This is a GREAT service you are documenting for us 'shade-tree' builders.  I buttoned up my K3 after a valve-grind and have mild oil leaks.............now I see why!
