Well boys at 22,000 and change It looks like I blew my head gasket. I have a watery mixture of oil and coolant bubbling out of the seam between the cylinder block and the head, right below the #2 cylinder exhaust port. That is what I get for running 12,000+ RPM for 60 miles a day every day for the past year. I ordered the parts I need and I will dig in this weekend. Parts should be here Monday. (Bike Bandit screwed me so I cancelled my order and went with Cheap Cycle Parts. They said that it would ship in 1-2 days, but when I placed the order they said it would take 5 to get the part, then it would ship in 1-2 days and then 2 day air. That a week and a half. Cheap Cycle Parts had it in stock and will have it to me by Monday at the latest).

Does anyone know if you put a sealant on the gasket? I didn't see any details in the manual. I hope to be running by Wednesday.
