No.If fluid seeps out of the combustion chamber,that your valves are not seating properly,indicating further problems with valves.

Turn the head up side down. It it proves to hold a liquid then you may be on your way to a simple repair. You are taking the bike apart anyway so start with the head. Here's hoping good fortune smiles upon you. :2tup:

Ohhh I get it
You guys know how big the engine sprocket bolt is? I don't have any tools near big enough, and I don't want to get the wrong size wrench

Thanks, I bought a 32mm because it was the only one bigger than 1" that harbor freight sold solo, and it worked just fine
