Quote:

rings are one of the best parts of your engine to break, because your vehicle will generally still run but with blue smoke. Whereas if you had a knocking rod bearing, your engine would likely just explode at some random time on the freeway and leave you stranded. Ring issues will get worse over time, but they are less likely to lead to catastrophic engine failure. That said, the added friction from damaged rings can put stress on other engine components and shorten the engines overall life.

or

Dad screwed up big time back in the 70's over his Mustang that had PCV valve trouble. Was "blowing oil out the dipstick." He changed the engine, injured his back, and got discouraged and sold it because it didn't perform like the old engine. Went from a 260 to a 289. It was a 1964.5 year model.

By the way, he hurt his back actually carrying that 289 V8 in his arms. Shocked

Sometimes it helps to know what's going on. Huh

I imagined the EPA kicking him in the butt every time the bike puffed smoke. In that case, yes, it would hurt to ride it like that.
