I have reinstalled the buda engine due to a front oil seal leak and all went OK. There is no leaks but at the front of the Govenor. So I tightened the botls a bit more as I used Permatex The Right Stuff gasket maker. When I tightened and ran the motor and the front of the govenor started to turn red HOT, in the centre. I shut the engine down and it cooled down.
I suspect that the bolts were tightened to tight and I didn't put enough gasket maker on. I plan on taking the front govenor off and re-gasket.
What are the tolerances on the bolts of the front govenor when using gasket maker?? Any suggestions ?? Should I check for damage on the inside of govenor ??
Take the cover off and look for rubbing on the inside. If you didn't use a gasket the clearance between the cover and rotating parts may have been reduced to the point the parts are now rubbing each other.
