I put in the half mooned gaskets inside behind the top cylinder where without using RTV. After putting everything together, I fired up the motor and started running immediately. Left the motor running while checking to see if there is any oil leak around the engine. So far, no oil leaks. No smoke coming out the exhaust tail pipe, either. Everything looks good and running real good. Except for a small nagging issue. The smell of burning oil is still there not as much as before. Will look into this issue. Also no blue smoke either.
