A variable measure, less than one but greater than zero.



Regarding the head gasket change, the .030 Cometics won't raise the ratio hardly at all, but the steel gasket should be less susceptible to failure.

Well, I have to give 'BIG PROPS' to First Extended Service Corp. They are really doing right by me. My engine is going back to Milwaukee to HD for a complete rebuild. My extended warranty runs out next June. Their agent didn't want to give me a repaired engine, he wanted to overhaul it for me.

I'm thrilled about the way they have treated me. Road reports will come in time, I guess.

This is a good thing outta a crappy situation.... I've read so many things about lousy dealerships and getting stiffed on warranty work. It is refreshing to read something positive!!

No kidding!
How often does that happen on a totally stock motor? Not very, I'll bet.
Something to add to our list of possibilities.

How did you diagnose the head gasket problem? Compression tester? Dealership?

Was there other stuff damaged? Surprising that they'd commit to rebuilding the entire engine just for a head gasket failure. Glad it is under warranty. I purchased the extended warranty on mine for just such disheartening occasions.

I was standing to the right of my bike while starting it. It coughed during the start and I saw exhaust blow out the R/H side of the rear cylinder. Once it started I put my hand down there and I could feel it leaking.
