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
