I'm referring to the new economical seats that are all over eBay. There are only a few to choose from in the hump style that list the XS as an application.

Can you guys take a look at the attached picture of my rocker arms and camshaft. I'm doing a top end overhaul and hoping I don't have to split the case. I didn't find any large particles in the engine or oil filter but the drain plugs caught a lot of the metal which formed into a sludge. My...

I haven't went into it yet. Just trying to get an idea of what to look for to correct it so it don't happen again.
