On a side note, I finally got my cylinder head planed to stop coolant from leaking into the engine, and I was able to slow down the idle to a nice slow but solid idle. But it sounds like there is something rattling around that sounds bad. Maybe it's just what a two stroke sounds at a low idle, but the crank bearings are good as far as I can tell, and the noise goes away when I rev it, either I can't hear it anymore or it goes away. I have looked up videos of other YZ's idling low, but I can't tell if its the same noise or not. Anyone have an idea?

1 way to machine/file them flat is to use a large flat piece of glass with some 400 grit wet & dry sand paper on it.
I use a 20mm thick piece of glass which is flat and spray the sand paper with crc/wd40.
Hold the clutch cover down and move in a circular motion untill high spots are gone.
Don't use any sealant on the gaskets either.

Are you going to race it at Central village at the ACR event July 28?I have been racing it at Rocky Hill for this season, I don't have a membership with Central, so I can't practice there except for race days. But, I do plan on racing there once or twice this season, and maybe on the 28th, depnding on work
And I will take it off today and check for high points. What about the cover that goes over the kick starter assembly and water pump? Should I also check that for high points?

Does an O ring belong on the drain plug??? I would really like to know tonight so I can put the trans fluid in and let it sit and see if it leaks still, which I really hope it doesn't.

My advice with regards to this method.Never,ever tape a sheet of sandpaper the living room window of your new house to resurface your RZ head while slurping Captain Morgan's finest and cranking GNR on the stereo loud enough that you don't hear your wife come home.

I'm thinking it may be coming from a bolt, I am going to try silicon spraying the bolts or something. I'm at a bit of a loss right now...

I'm probably going to let it sit over night and see if I can see any leak. Hopefully not

Ha Ha , Women are funny like that.
Reminds me of a time a friend and I were making 45Kg of boerewors sausages at his place.
25Kg beef/15Kg pork & 5Kg pork rind.
We had the sounds cranked the beer flowing and the mincer going hard.
Just before we finished with the kitchen looking like a slaughter house in walks his ( who was supposed to be away for the day ) Vegetarian wife.
Least to say I stayed clear for awhile.

Lol,Women are an odd creature at times.Being a vegan,she likely wanted some of that but just didn't want to admit it.
Of course,had it been my buddy I would have mentioned to him that he was fortunate his wife preferred a little carrot stick to a big sausage-but that's just me.
