[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 214558, member: 98"] Yes I agree Dave ...exhaust gases is what eventually happen to start pushing water out ...but in rather sure heat and poorly engineered gaskets led to that ..simply cause the bike is so powerful and powerful is directly related to more heat to get rid of ..causing goo gaskets to melt away around and in fire ring and it certainly doesn’t help that goo gaskets swell up in contact with coolant ......this was all totally evident in the goo gaskets that just were not on very long before failure ...and the dimple effect of how these gasket are made is absolutely the stupidest engineering design I’ve ever seen use on something that suppose to seal ...when the outcome is reducing even torque ..Also if you look at the gaskets at the fire ring you can see it is very narrow ...you can see the impression the cylinder sleeve on the gasket ..this area is subject to a lot of heat right on the goo ...thiscwhere inthink it all goes bad for these goo gaskets ...lots of heat right there ..dimple effect engineering and failure in my opinion ...the gaskets i put on and I’ve mentioned this before the fire ring is much wider ..the substrate under it is much smoother ..has no signs of dimple effect engineering ..and seems to be more solid surface than goo makeup ...I’m so glad I gambled on these cheaper gaskets ...cause after reviewing things they were worth gambling on ...over the much more expensive barracuda gaskets ... Today I’m going to retorque the heads as I have to stop valve cover leak anyway ... [/QUOTE]
