Not so good.
I was pressure testing my warranty motor after reassembly only to find a significant air leak through the spark plug threads on center and PTO. MAG is OK.
The air leak *does not* follow the plugs. Placed the plug that was on the front (not leaking) on PTO (which leaks the worst) and it continued to leak. The rear plug was moved to the front, no leaks still.
To myself and my friend it looks like there's too deep of a chamfer on the head before the threads start. There's also a nick on the PTO head under the spark plug washer where you can even see it continues past the washer coverage area.
Aren't these things pressure tested before they leave the factory?
And can I just have two replacement heads sent out so I don't have to dissasemble everything again and ship this thing out again...
I attached pictures of it.
