Finally got the engine rotated. There is a slight oil weep from a front rocker cover bolt, is this just a case of pulling it out, cleaning it up and replacing it  Attachment: head leak.jpg [ 115.24 KiB | Viewed 348 times ] PS - The bike builder left a cryptic message on the frame  Attachment: builder.jpg [ 55.68 KiB | Viewed 348 times ] |

I would think so, you may want a new sealing washer. Is it tight? |

Whilst you have the opportunity, check your front plug lead for wear against the idle adjuster. |

But Magnecor now ship with a hard plastic sheath to protect the front lead. |
