Not sure I posted this here, but a few weeks ago I had this one week old Hayter Harrier 48 on the bench with a really bad oil leak.  Turns out the head gasket was fitted the wrong way up in the Loncin factory as you can see in one of the videos on my youtube channel (links at bottom of post).

Check out this video which shows the oil leak while running the machine, https://youtu.be/CfpsSoxSJ5g?si=8RP6gXNpM2IAD_RG
An this video which shows the gasket when I removed the head, and the parts used to rebuild it. https://youtu.be/G9_PrCjEpbU?si=I-xbsSq19a9d80S6
