@raghavan

Thats normal. My bike has been thru it atleast 4-6times like that. almost all the bikes which have a head leakage problem will have this as an imm solution!

@racoon.

I dont think there would be such a leakge in GUN's head!

@all

I dont mind this kind of a shabby work if it fix the problem. Its a matter of practicality over perfection. U need things to be done 100% perfect and by the book then its qiet impossible for any SVC to do it. blame the infrastructure within themselves. They got so many bikes and other things to attend to! Be in their shoe's and think for a moment, and u'll know!

@raghavan

are you sure they used m-seal? because what is usually used is 3-bond which is a liquid gasket. It is the recommended sealant for things like the tappet covers etc.

unless you saw them use m-seal with your own eyes in which case they should open a plumbing side-business.

**HydBiker** · 04-24-2009, 08:10 AM

@Raghavan, I second Julian's comments. It should not be MSeal... I haven't seen an MSeal that spreads so well

It is something like AnaBond or so that is used for fixing engine seals. For certain type of seals (metal ones particularly) this paste is applied on both the sides of the seal and then the engine parts are put together with the seal in between.

It looks ugly though!!! white on a black engine!

with a matt black nail polish

The white thing is not just a mark... it would be thick enough to form uneven surface... cannot chip that off as the leaking problem might come up again!

M-Seal comes in very handy for old engines... it can take a lot of heat but yes does give away at very high temps... I have seen a lot of old car engines with a patch of M-Seal somewhere... may be some oil seal or packing starts leaking or what ever, M-Seal comes in handy.

Anything should not be used in such a bad way it is looking so bad. Proper way is to change the Gasket and put a sealant but applying from outer side is so not done.

**MavericK46** · 04-24-2009, 11:48 AM

@Raghavan: Oil leakage from the head leakage region is definitely due to worn gasket man. If your rings are shot, there would be far more ominous signs, albeit no leakage from the head region.
The amount of blow-by that would be needed to cause an engine-head leakage would be causing your engine to chain-smoke

There's no issue with your rings. The SC guys may not have had the gasket in stock and hence resorted to jugaad

Relax and enjoy the ride. Take her out to your favourite set of twisties and you'll forget all about the anabond on the engine block

Cheers !

Guys, relax. Dont scare the poor guy off.

Raghavan, thats not some serious issue to be worried about. Its very common on Pulsars and RTRs. And the Anabond issue is a permanent solution IMHO. I have tried all this head gasket jagda, but still no use. The bike will ultimately leak oil from the tappet and head covers. In fact the Anabond seals much better than the head gasket.
