I have a 2007 night train with 18,233 miles on her and last month I installed a Fuel pak and big sucker with my screamin eagles slip onsand then this month I was getting blow by on my dipstick. I thought it was the temp gauge dipstick just worn out. I replaced with stock and now I see blow by on my head bolts and on my left side primary drive. The gaskets are leaking oil!!!!!
I went through everything this morning. Oil has just started to come out of the lower primary cover bolts and the head bolts..
I think I I have found the problem when I installed my big sucker kit it had two new bolts for the oil ports. So I just used them. Well when I took it apart today I grabb the old bolts to see if there was a difference and the new bolts are 1/2 longer then the stock bolts. There was minimal oil in the air cleaner not like before.
So now the question is.....Did I just cause multiple leaks all over the engine that will continue to leak or did I solve the problem.
The big shitty part is my warranty ran out on 6/9.......4 days ago
