Steve,

Thanks for the reply. Not absolutely sure about whether the leak is through intake, exhaust, or rings. If I had to say, I would say it was intake, as I could hear the sound get louder as I opened up the throttle while listening at the venturi. But not sure if that just wasn't the air sound reverberating through the whole head.

I take it a small intake valve leak would not cause further damage, just lose power?
