Hi Dave

As others have said engine out is best, also much easier to fit a silicon gasket when you can clean the surfaces properly.

I never fill my engines to the full mark as I’ve found this creates pressure leaks. I always leave about a 1/4” to 3/8” below the full mark and my three engines remain pretty much leak free.

Cheers

Howard
