the o-rings on the studs were a concern of mine during reassembly. The spots for the o-rings were wide and flat, and I expected to have flat cut orings to put in, but didn't. Unfortunately I had left them in but the guy who did the sandblasting pulled them out, so I wasn't sure what they looked like. There were so many gaskets and rings to replace. I did have a couple left over, but assumed they were for parts that i didn't remove as I was meticulous during the process. But I am only human. I know the kit i purchased was by Athena, who I found was the company who manufactured the gaskets during the production of these bikes back in the 70's. With that in mind, I'd just as soon blame myself to be honest. Friday I am pulling the engine out again, I was just hoping someone would know what is in that area that could possibly leak down into the head.
