Counting them from front to back, (1) was very tight, (2) is the one that the center section screwed out of instead of the whole thing, (3) was loose, (4) was very tight.
Who was mocking you..? If that's what you think then you either must have a really thin skin or don't understand my English sense of humour. I agree if you have the skills (but maybe not the detailed knowledge) then why should you pay someone to do what you can do yourself..?......but please don't mock me and enjoy the fact that you get to spread your knowledge and educate someone who appreciates what you have to offer. Bottom line is I'm gonna get this machine running and I don't care what I have to do or what mistakes I learn from along the way but I'm not going to pay anyone to do it for me.
When ksh was talking about looking for cracks he meant (or at least I think he meant) in the cylinder head itself from the threaded hole where the chamber screws in towards one or other of the valves. Go back a couple of pages to that link I posted and check out Post #43. The bottom photo is what you need to be aiming for, only when the seat is really clean will you be able to see if there are any cracks in the head. Do this for all 4 holes, not just the one where the chamber was loose....
