[QUOTE="kettlrj, post: 120244, member: 1455"] Hi 998, Some time ago a section member had a similar problem with his Comet. Following all sorts of solutions put forward by other members such as piston ring broken, loose vale guide and all other weird ideas. I went to see the bike and when it was running there was a lot of oil dripping from around the exhaust port. I asked him what had he been doing to the bike lately and he It seemed that he had not fully tightened the pipe nut securing the return pipe to the cylinder head rocker feed pipe. The oil was then running down the head fins, totally unseen, and then running out next to the exhaust port. Therefore my advise would be to look at the link pipe between the two heads to see if it is leaking from where the flex pipe joins the rigid pipe. Regards Richard. [/QUOTE]
