That is pretty amazing, just shows how good these modern engines are, still running after that.

"wonder what the problem is !"

in Germany its forbidden to drive with such a hole in the engine because of animal welfare reasons. We dont want cat or rabbit hash on our streets.

Perhaps they got one of those 'cutaway' engines cheap from a trade show.

Nope ..I give up...can't see what's wrong.

Do the valve clearances need adjusting.....or is it an electrical fault?

I got it...it's having emissions problems....

I've go it!

It's a dry sump conversion  ;D

Must intend to go racing or summink, I've heard they use them for that sort of thing.

I have heard it's vital to properly vent crankcases to avoid power sapping over pressure of the crankcases. Should I fit a similar 'free breather' kit to my Hornet?
