Member Contributer Dutchy Posted September 7, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2021 Turned out the valve cover gasket was not 100% alligned. Murphy's law, next week Thursday the plan is to ride the VF to the north of Spain. And now there an oil leak. week I have time to delve in, but your thought/suggestions are welcome!

Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted September 7, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2021 Woohoo!!! Crisis averted and you get to ride!!! Was a little confused as well since I looked at my bike just now and those are dead-end passages anyway. The oil-feed crush-washers are higher up on head. So it could be from those and dribbled down. Had similar issues previously with valve-cover gasket too. The rubber washers on cover-bolts had dried and shrunken and not applying as much pressure on valve cover. Replacing those fixed leak around lower edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
