Cleaning, removing and torquing the center bolt to 52 ft lbs stopped my hydraulic head leak.

The oring at the base is not leaking, and i dont belive the plunger bore screw is leaking, i think the HH has a crack in it. I will pull of the tin cover tomorrow and find where the fuel is coming from.

okay, i removed the tin cover and the leak was coming frome the plunger bore screw. i removed it, cleaned the HH head and screw, reinstalled and set the torque to 55lbs..problem solved. I would like to thank everybody for there help

Mark, was there an o-ring that needed to be replaced?

No, the plunger bore screw seats into a tapered bore, Thants why it needs to be CLEAN.

I believe there is a limited supply of used IPs for parts available here if you need some.
