I’m wondering if just re-torquing the head bolts might resolve this or am I going to have to go further..? Any experienced advice is appreciated.
Btw.. what’s best these days for gaskets..? Been a while since I bought them.
I had the same problem with the base gaskets on my 1990 FXR. The kit that I bought fixed the problem for good.
