I installed the new cylinder, piston & rings. Runs great no smoke. I found a small rust spot in the cylinder. That was where the oil was getting by the rings. Thanks for your help.

I pulled the head and jog off last Friday & Saturday. When I pulled the long head bolts, one of them was dripping oil. Does the 2 in most bolts serve a the oil ports? The cylinder has not noticeable wear and the top of the piston and the head has very little carbon. I'm going to mic the piston to see if it is over sized.

All the time.

More than likely it is plugged by a mud robber. I bought an overhaul kit (piston, rings, jug etc) and I'm going to make time to overhaul it soon.

I though about the rings, but it has a lot of power. It could be the oil ring. I'll do a pressure leak down test again. It's smoking from the tail pipe. I did notice oil squirting out around the dip stick & then pulled the vent tube off & it quit. It's still smoking. I'll keep an eye on the level and see if the smoking starts to subside. It takes about 5 seconds before it starts to smoke.

I purchased a '87 Moto 225. It didn't run. After getting it running, I was surprised it smoked like a smoke stack because it was rather quick. I'm guessing it's the head gasket. Has anyone had a smoking problem?
