Hope you all had a good and safe and well Christmas. So with festivities over I ventured to the man cave, determined to resolve 1) Pesky oil leak and 2) the earlier mentioned cam chain tensioner bodge, see earlier picture.
I've no removed head and barrels and think I may have issue with the pistons! and valves or is this just old engine, never taken one apart before. seems a lot of carbon build up, is this the usual quantity. The bike ran fine with no blue smoke issues.
The oil leak was caused by a split rubber collar that goes around dowel on LHS but the one on the right is knackered also..
In my laymans opinion, or novice mechanic the bores, thank fully look really smooth with no gouges/scoring etc. The pics don't show it very well.
So whatdya all think. Haven't got to the offending bodge yet.!!!
