Leaking gaskets after fluid changes
Has anyone ever had a problem with your gaskets (primary, oil pan) leaking after changing the fluids. I was using HD syn 3 in all 3 areas, but I was told to try the Lucas oil, and Lucas tranny fluids with the Lucas stabilizers, I was told that the bike would run cooler with less wear on the gears and it would help with dry starts. The stabilizersticks to the cycliders and gearskind of like pepto bismol to the stomach.
After I changed the fluidsmy primary gasket started leaking as well as my tranny gasket. The Lucasproducts I used are synthetics, as is the Syn 3. Maybe it is a coincidence.
I drained everything tore the bike apart, changed the gaskets, put HD primary fluid in the primary, Bel-Ray gear oil in the tranny, and I will doing the oil change soon with HD Syn 3.
Something I noticed when I changed my tranny fluids,when I draind the Lucas out of the bike, at normal temp, 230 degrees, it seemed frothy, (foamy) I have neverseen this before.
I am just wondering what is going on.

RE: Leaking gaskets after fluid changes
Not had that problem, I did expect it when I changed from dino oil to Amsoil but did not have any leaks at all and am all most due for another oil change. I will not by any harley oil it is made by CITGO the little commie sob from down south.
