    hi to all

     

    firstly, thanks for reading this post a bigger thanks in advance if you reply!

    I have a problem ( i think) with the motor ( valve train?) on my 2000 TC

    I gave the old girl a bit of a hammering ( long period of reasonably high revs) on the way home Sat, through Tugan tunnel to burleigh and when i pulled in to my shed , switched it of , i saw smoke coming from what appeared to be the rear rocker box. Funny thing is that it didnt smell like burnt motor oil, more like plastic?

    i have also noticed more oil being spat onto my pipes and oil barrel that cant be coming from the head breather bolt as I have routed a hose that pipes it to under the bike.

    apart from being a pain to clean of the oil stains i dont think it should be smoking like that, The old girl has just on 90 K on it btw.

    any ideas?

    Matt

    Thanks fellas

    judging from the replies, It looks like I have a top end rebuild coming up, which is ok, I already have a set of 2007 heads ready to go on.

    just need a good barrel / piston set.

    time to go to 95 - 97ci

    Any recomendations? (based on  experience)

    I had been looking at Revolution performance kits

    they have a dealer in melbourne
