Member Contributer SamW Posted June 30, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted June 30, 2015 Do the 6th Gen have intake runner boots? Injector seals as suggested before. You could always try the Lucas trick, add smoke then used compressed air to force it out and see where it escapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted July 2, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 2, 2015 Pair valve plates...95% sure now. The last time we pulled the left rear plug to start it turned about a 1/4 turn and stopped. Pulled the other rear plug and they both exhausted a good 2 ozs of water...I was in charge of the camera phone (Mini's phone so he needs to edit the video) and only caught the last of the water as it dripped from the underside of the tank. We have ordered a set of pair valve plates from a member and will keep you posted on their efficacy at remediating this issue once installed. For those of you in Rio Linda that means that we will let you know if it fixes the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny as sh!t, but cold. Remember to notify CNN and Fox the microsecond you have the results. Not exactly sure where the Vegas line is but I will look into it and post later today. It's gettin out of control CC. Hope you have time to make the Talk Show circuit when it's finally over. Wait, what is the problem again, A PAIR of leaky spark plugs or something?

Member Contributer Switchblade Posted July 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 2, 2015 Just for my satisfaction I would put that cylinder on TDC and pull the plug and insert a adapter and pressurize the cylinder. Then listen for escaping air. Don't know if it will enlighten the problem or not BUT we are fast approaching a brick wall . Roll On .. Figured that was it .

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted July 13, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 13, 2015 We installed (the royal we) new pair valves sourced from a member here (Mello Dude) and they appear to be better made than the cheaper ones we had previously purchased on fleaBay.... Mello Dude gets $29.95 a pair for them plus shipping. We are now 4 days without rain since the installation of the new pair valves so we don't know anything yet but I have a suspicion that we (again, the royal we but this time instead of meaning "MiniCarver" it means the collective of this amazing forum) have solved the problem. Stuck a water hose on full throttle under the seat area and parked it on the kick stand for a couple of hours but that doesn't mean anything yet. Next chance of rain here is Wednesday.

Thanks again MelloDude. You make it to work today? He did...after pulling the left rear plug and pumping about two ounces of rainwater out... Still diagnosing...may even resort to fabricating a dome cover for the rear head....not sure what to do next or where to look. I think he is going to put some tires on his 4th Gen and commute on it while he takes the 5th gen engine back out of the 6G frame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 it realistically can only be 4 things: pair spark plug threads intake exhaust one would think the exhaust could be eliminated, because water will not defy gravity. Then you go to what was modified...aha. Deduction has shown it to be the pair system. BTW, you should really fill that jug with oil while you figure it out. That much water on top of the piston is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
