Nice write up and pics. Glad everything is running good. Great job.Did this solve your hot start problem? If it did post up in that thread too as solved!

i don't know if it has solved that yet. only went for a short test drive last night as i got done around 10 pm. going go karting with dad today, so i shall see then.the gasket was leaking due to no sealant on them and oil eating through it. i used RTV silicone maximum oil resistance sealant with the gaskets on both sides.

yes, it has solved the hot start problem. starts fine now when it's warm. made the throttle tighter too?
