Hey Marcus,

Was good to have a quick chat earlier on the phone. This lot will help out with ideas on how to get you running nice and smooth. We'll get you to post a proper post on your issues in the technical section at some stage, but from what you told me on the the phone your engine is the biggest issue. According to your mechanic its oil seals, and you are burning oil at an alarming rate - complete with the blue smoke!

Anyway, you are very welcome and enjoy your time here!

Gary

Hoping it is just the Rocker Cover Gaskets @marcusmartin that need replacing. Will be our first shot at it next weekend. @BMBabe shall be our camera person for documenting the start of the project

 

[Brian4]

Rocker cover gasket is easy enough to change but if it's never been changed before it will be hard and brittle. Also the crankcase breather pipes could also be blocked which is a bit more involved.

Ask up for any more help.
