[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 168970, member: 485"] It's a long road Danno, We have to remember these are old bikes, And most of them have had a hard life, I know I have Raced the Nuts off mine !. Most of them leak a little bit, When I bought my first Twin Outfit in 1965 From Surrey, By the time I got back home to West London, Oil was pouring out the main feed union , It had a stripped thread !. When the Jap's made bike engines , They split the cases half way up, Which seems better for less oil leaks, As I have said , A better than standard breather may help, Maybe the rocker feed washers might need replacing etc. Where the screws go into the covers, I always put a touch of red hermatite , Under the screw heads. I also put a bit of "Red stuff "on both sides of the copper washers on the rocker feed . So much to learn , Hard to get it across in one go. Have Fun. [/QUOTE]
