That motor sounds to be running very sweetly - I think we discussed the use of some kind of black mastic marine grade sealant to help seal tired intake rubbers - it might be worth looking into,

@Joachim

Thanks for the offer, I will centainly contact you if I cant find another solution, such as the one Overbomber provided, I need to look into that.

I do have another question, I need to order new brake pads for the front calipers, would anybody have the EBC brake pads code for the Nordwest calipers? I want to be sure I order the correct ones.

EBC FA126

For my stainless brake rotors i have ordered Typ HH.
But this are sintered pads. Maybe you should not use them on the stock cast iron rotors
Something organic will be better

I'm not shure about doing this.
I had Carbone Lorraine sintered pads on my Nordie a while ago.
After some months i replaced them with something less 'sharp'
I think wear was rather high.
So be carefull ;)

yes your right Joachim, the wear rate is higher, I suppose it depends on the mileage you intent to do, I prefer the performance they give over non sintered options
