I’m surprised only because it had new guide seals to begin with. I replaced them and all the wear items in the top end and a few case seals where it appeared oil was leaking from the prior owner. Maybe I botched them or had crap replacements the first time. I think it goes without saying...

So this fix may have worked and I’m pretty surprised. Did both the intake and exhaust on the offending side. Process was easy thanks to the guides from members. I’m still getting what seems like a sooty residue after starting when cold but I think it’s a tuning issue or old oil burning off from...

Given the amount of oil in the exhaust itself, I figured it was leaking past the value and I to the pipe. Wouldn’t expect that from the intake just based on its orientation.

Took forever to get seals and plan on tackling the job with the motor in and see how it shakes out. The writes ups are incredibly thorough and seems straight-forward enough. Anyone have a similar issue and it be from the intake side rather than the exhaust side? Figured I’d start on the...
