Hi. Seems like I've gone from a oily British bike to a oily Japanese one..... Having pulled the engine to get the frame painted. I am going to grind the joint between the head and cylinder flat, and grinding the valves too. Qt: should I tare it all apart and check oil seals and so forth. Seems to be leaking quit a bit where the layshaft comes out. Hard to see where it leaks cause the engine very dirty....full of grime, oil, grease........and god knows what. Christer

When I got my SR, it was the dirtiest grimiest engine I'd ever seen. Cleaned it all off, and it hasn't leaked since. I think what happens is that people are careless putting oil in and spill up by the filler - that goes all under the tank and on top of the engine, and starts building grunge. Get it clean and then track down the leaks and fix them one at a time.
The only place I've had a leak was the cam chain tensioner cover, and a new O-ring fixed that.
