damiancds YaBB Newbies Offline I've caught the bug and can't/won't stop! Posts: 33 Upstate NY Gender:	Ease my mind (pics 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

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)

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.

The castings themselves are sound and you will note with your finger that all your "cracks" are positive to the surface of the casting.

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.
