I have a 2001 Honda CR125R, and 18 riding hours ago i had the topend rebuilt. And now it's leaking around the head gasket a little bit on each side and the back of the head, and also thru the hole in the head the studs go thru that hold on the head. So i tighted up the bolts, what I could considering they were on tight as they could go anyway, and that didn't seem to help. I'm thinking it's just the head gasket that's going bad or just wasn't strong enough in the first place. I was just seeing what you think on this subject and why it would be doing this. Any input is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

did you re torque the head bolts after a few hours or riding? You might have streched a bolt and or warped the head some and will need resurfacing. If you want to go the cheap way just buy a new gasket and use permatex Indian Head gasket shellac we carry a bottle when we run thru the desert rides as it's been a life saver

Either The Head Isn't Level Or Who Ever Rebuilt The Top End Did Not Tighten At Spec Foot Lbs
