Author Message   Ezblast Posted on Saturday, August 28, 2010 - 02:26 pm:        Posted in the picture section - very nice! EZ   Leonard Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 08:34 am:        smoking blast-literally! I had been noticing some sort of fumes in my headlight recently but didn't give much though to it. Yesterday I thought I'd fiddle with the primary adjustment. While trying to turn the nut and not burning myself, I noticed a couple of drops of fresh black oil. It looks like it is coming from the top of the cylinder..near the "do not remove" brackets. How serious is this? There is a lot of light smoke/ fumes when the engine is running and for some time after it is stopped, presumably from whatever oil is burning. I will be spending some time trying to get the primary adjustment back to what it was before I started messing with it, so if the leak is something serious, I might as well call it a season and start taking stuff apart   Gearheaderiko Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 09:28 am:        First check the PCV grommet which almost always leaks a little, but its more than likely the rocker cover gasket if its leaking a lot. Both the upper and lower rocker cover gaskets are fairly easy to change. If it only needs the top gasket, thats all I'd change. Changing gaskets just for changing's sake, is rarely a good idea.   Ezblast Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 01:22 pm:        Concur!   Absolutezerofun Posted on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 08:29 pm:        So at 4300 mile and 8 years later the wheel bearings go out.. NTN6204LLU... if your wondering the after market bearing number...   Ezblast Posted on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 09:59 pm:        As long as the new ones fit well - your ok - no biggie. EZ
