Hi Jesse,tanks for the input on my oil leak.I do have a blow by problem
that is leaking past the rings.Last week I pushed the bike faster than I
should have.Iam wondering if that may have added to my situation.If the
bike is pushed over 65mph on a hot day,it will push ALOT of oil out the
breather.
The bike has unkown miles on a sleeve job done by 2nd PO.I had a
leak-down test done and there was leakage on both sides.It was 16 on one
side and 12 on the other.
I decided to get the piston/cylinder kits from MGCycle and will replace
the top end.Hopefully that will have the old girl running in good
order.I really enjoy the bike.
