My 900 has started to produce a bit of oil mist/smoke, when idling.
Hopefully nothing more than valve stem seals
If the head is coming off, I wondered if there were any known mods for the head which might be worth doing for any benefits.
Does anyone know of some mods ? It's a pretty good head design by the looks of it anyway but thought I'ld ask first
Dreading the job because the exhaust studs are very well stuck and the nuts holding the headers in have rotted down to about 80% of their original size. Might end up buying a secondhand head ! So because of that I've been looking at some videos showing the seals being replaced with the head in situ. Basically blocking the cylinder up with rag or rope to offer a resistance on the underside of the valves so that the springs can be compressed down from above - does anyone have any experience with doing that ? Any tips ?
