it's always been a slight weep.
first from the rear cylinder, then from the front cylinder (after they moved the rear cylinder to the front, then replaced the front cylinder).
it never stopped........
started around 5k miles, the head gaskets started leaking before 5k, I just didn't notice until the rear cylinder started weeping oil.......

I have to say that is the most mickey mouse thing I've heard since they put two orings insterad of one to fix a leak, or maybe it was the same color dye in all three holes to find the oil leak?

Good luck with the new motor.  My new motor had alreday leaked and had the enhancement done.

That is GOOD NEWS!

I am going to the dealers tomorrow and have a talk with the service dept and the owners.

Hope to have news about a new leakfree motor soon.

Jerdawg,

this new motor was supposed to be built with all of the '09 specs......
it should be as reliable and leak free as any '09 110.... time will tell.....

You are very lucky, I just came from the local dealer where there are three 110's sitting on lifts all waiting on the outcome of the fights the dealer is in with MoCo about replacing these motors. They all have been "fixed" at least 3 times already, one has had the "fix" 5 times. :o

Well my dealer went through a problem with moco about boring cyl's to fix out of round and tappered.Now I have waited for 3 months for recall parts and summer is here so they fixed acr's and I will wait till next winter.Last year they put a new crank, new cly's .010 over,and a valve job  I had  a lil weeping at first after 1000 miles it quit and now 12,000 miles no problems waiting for upgrade parts. Good luck jdo

Well.

after having the "product enhancement" gaskets done 4 times and the dealer swapping the rear cylinder to the front, and a new cylinder installed on the front (because it wouldn't stop weeping oil from the cylinder base) and it STILL weeps oil from the front cylinder base!

HD is going to replace my motor!  WhooHoo! :2vrolijk_21:

I'm really happy about that! :bananarock:
Looks like we both had to take them in 4 to 5 times before they replaced our engines.
Got the call today they are sending the new 110 engine today to the dealer, and my 2007 FXSTSSE is in their
service bay as we speak and it is just waiting for the swapout.

I think we will be ok with them since they are the 110B engines.

I will take my camera when the new one arrives here in Arizona.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

Picked up the bike yesterday afternoon.

The new motor looks GREAT! :2vrolijk_21:
The dealership did an excellent job and I'm crossing my fingers that this motor will be leak free...... :bananarock:
