Heat sink head spitting out sutff

[spyderpact]

Woah havent posted since forever. lol any way while my long time of not posting I've been able to play with my car. Well the problem I've seem to notice (and this might be normal) is fuel leaks out of the heat sink head and makes a mess all over the engine area of the car, any way to fix this?

Where is it leaking from? Is it coming out of the base of the heat sink? Is it coming out of the area around the glo-plug?

The glo-plug is easily remedied with a new washer. Just make certain you haven't stripped the glo-plug seat.

The area around the base of the heat sink would indicate either the head is on their loosely, a shim is out of place, or....something just isn't seated properly between the head and the engine block. Either way, this leads to poor performance, and should be looked into.

If it is coming from somewhere else, you still want to resolve it as you are most likely loosing performance to this leak.

if this is happening then you may be causing your mill to running at higher temps. Is the plug in straight? what plug first and mill too.

Hmmm this has been happening to me with my picco never payed attention to it really. It comes out just around the base of the glo plug. I have been frying glo plugs right and left this might be the cause of it. I dunno. Just a hunch. I am using an OS #8 if that matters.

You sure it isn't leaking out your manifold? A friend of mine had a crappy manifold on his engine and it made a nasty mess everytime he ran it.
