One bike there was stunning. It was built from boxes of bits by a chap we know who lives in our village. It's a Moto Guzzi, 1946 I think, other than that I know nothing about it at all. An absolute peach though. Edit, just worked out it is a 1949 Airone Sport 250cc. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Out and about at Boston Bike Night. There was a massive turnout tonight, possibly 8-10,000 bikes of all shapes, sizes and makes. Impossible to take any photos that really show the number of bikes and people there but will put some on when the official pics come on line. Great evening out.

I used NE gasket set, including head gasket on my CB400/4. Dry as a bone all round.

I thought of that Ken but it may have been done by a previous owner. If the engine had been apart before and the wrong length bolt fitted, then Adrian has put the correct length bolt in which is now leaving a space under the bottom of the bolt for the oil to get out. The wrong long length bolt may have caused the damage but also hidden the damage by putting pressure on the crack.

Sorry, missed this post. 100 miles (edit...typo there, 500 miles) sensible up to 5k rpm in nice cool conditions and then change oil, adjust tappets etc. Then if all sounds and feels ok, ride it as you would do normally.

Also, if you say it weeps when you rev the bike, the oil is under pressure. The bottom of that bolt hole is very close to the oilway junction from the oil pump that feeds the gearbox. You could try removing the oil pump, put an airline up the oilway and see if anything comes up the bolt hole, if it does, there is a crack there somewhere.

Here is a pic with the sprocket off, I can see how if an over long stud had been put in, it could easily have caused a crack. The crack may not be visible as it could be internal not external [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I know i had real issues with those casing bolts on my engine, trying to fit the correct length bolt to each hole was difficult. I measured all my bolt holes with the vernier in the end to make sure i put the right size in the right place. really, it can only be a slight misalignment or the bolt has gone through the casing. No other way oil could come up the thread, the bolt / thread shouldn't be anywhere near oil.

Yes, i see which one you mean now. Not sure why you have oil coming up through there, unless you have put a too long casing bolt in and made a hole in the casing or as Oddjob says, maybe something not aligned properly. Is there much oil coming up?

Just looking at your pic again Adrian, what bolt hole are you referring to?. If its the one at the top, its an external fixing point so no oil will come out of there, am I looking at the wrong hole?
