Hi everyone,
I've just had my new bike (new to me) shipped up from Vic. When it was started last around 3 weeks ago it was running fine and wasn't blowing smoke.
As soon as I received it I checked the valves clearances and fired it up, it started blowing smoke almost instantly. I'm no expert on checking valves but the last time I did, everything worked fine. I'm sure I did it right. Find TDC, .10mm inlet and .15 exhaust etc etc.
There appears to be oil leaking into the exhaust manifold.
Does this sound like symptoms of a poor valve clearance check?
