Title: Ease my mind (pics Post by damiancds on 08/03/13 at 18:40:33 I'm looking at doing some work on the bike, and I just want to make sure it's actually worth doing. I've attached pictures that I'm worried about, whether they might be trouble spots

Title: Re: Ease my mind (pics Post by damiancds on 08/03/13 at 18:43:50 because I can't figure out how to do multiple pics to one post... This is the spark plug area

Title: Re: Ease my mind (pics Post by damiancds on 08/03/13 at 18:44:55 Not sure if this crack is just cosmetic or something more

Title: Re: Ease my mind (pics Post by damiancds on 08/03/13 at 18:46:00 and this is the multiple leak spots that I intend to fix when I rip it apart, If it's worthwhile.

Title: Re: Ease my mind (pics Post by damiancds on 08/03/13 at 18:48:10 Last photo, i promise. I seem to get a decent amount of oil leak out of this bolt/nut, but cant tighten it any further. Basically, With all that's odd with the cylinder, I'm curious if I should spend the time to redo the seals or look for a new motor (unfixable cracks and what not)

Title: Re: Ease my mind (pics Post by verslagen1 on 08/03/13 at 19:21:02 don't trust your 1st sighting on these oil leaks... clean and observe. that one up front, maybe the typical head plug leak or could be a head gasket. by the 652, hopefully just a gasket leak trailing down a dirt line. under it is a pressurized oil path.  a crack wouldn't be good. by ol' sparky, popping the cover if you got to do the head plug will fix it.

They pretty much all look like that. Want to give yourself a heart attack, look at the webbing/crazing inside the clutch case... The casting flaws will polish off if they bother you.
