Thumbs down Oil Leak from Allen Bolt Cylinder Head
Here is a link of the exact problem that I am having: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry14761113, and after doing a bit of searching I've found that there's an o-ring behind the bolt that most likely needs to be replaced but don't understand how the o-ring can be replaced without completely pulling out the allen bolt if that is even possible or is it??? . If anyone knows how please help

I have done this job. Took 3 minutes.

It is very important you do not completely remove the bolt! You can loosen it just enough to expose the oring, then simply change it.

and by simply changing out the rubber o-ring, this will stop the oil leak?

Yes. The o-ring stops it from leaking in the first place. So if it is leaking, the o-ring is bad. So change it.

Put a thin coat of engine oil on the o-ring, or it may tear when tightening the bolt.
