Man! That is the reason why I had to replace the head gasket! Some JO overfilled the oil. I was told that these gaskets are almost impossible to blow out and the only way it happens is with overfilling the oil. Be careful of any oil wetness around the head as this would be an indication of problems due to DA overfilling the oil.

So overfilling with oil made the counter sprocket leak? I would think it would blow out the breather..Or did it run down there..
