[QUOTE="JamesK, post: 1205430, member: 1858"] The compression was totally shot in all cylinders, reading in the 120-130 PSI range and #2 was showing about 50 PSI. When finally stopped riding the bike because oil mist was blasting from the RHS of the block it was due to the back pressure build up which blew out a part of the rocker cover gasket (one of the little half-moon bits). That's what the tech at the shop where the bike was towed showed me. Also, the bike was starting to jump out of 2nd gear at increasing frequency. I have no gripes about the old engine, it did an admirable job. I just want to get the old girl back on the road with a good engine to see how many more miles I can pile on [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/bike.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
