So Ive just finished a valve clearance check and a coolant and oil change. Started the bike up and oil is spitting out the small hole on the side of the cylinder. What the hell have I done wrong?

Thanks Lee. After a few hours google research I came to the same conclusion. Well back to strip her down again and get a gasket ordered. Thanks again.
