[QUOTE="tjcassar, post: 16491, member: 1916"] I do not know who did the rebuild as I purchased this machine at the Bonhams Staffors sales. But I understand from a British friend of mine who knows who built it, that he is a knowledgable person. The cylinders, pistons and rings are all new and the bike has only covered 400 miles. The worst breathing of air and oil takes place when the bike is hot and is on idle. The oil is sprayed out via the front breather just above the distributor as mine is coil ignition 12V. this breather is just a bunjo bolt with no non return valve at all. Is this normal?? Re Breather valve, is this in the crank case?, I will try to see if I can manage to check when it opens and closes as suggested by you. Gozo is a nice place to spend a quiet week. The roads throughout these islands are a disaster, we go off to Sicily and Italy on rallies there to show and use our bikes. Would appreciate any help you could give me to try to solve this mess my bike creates. Cheers. Tony [/QUOTE]
