So it's a 2005 and in about 200 miles of green lane pootling used all but about 100ml of its oil!! :embarrassed:
Two questions...
So engine out to find slightly worn everything!! Cams are worn on the journal but may stick them back in until it dies as I really don't fancy forking out for a head. Valve clearances non-existent on two of the inlets and the shims are at min thickness so needs valve seats... Will I get away with the original valves with new seats?
Cylinder bore is fairly worn in places and a bit scored, but not very bad, rings are well worn, plus the ring gaps were all very close to being aligned!! Piston is a vertex and doesn't look too bad, but gonna bore the cylinder and re-coat and give it a stock piston and ring set. Will the stock piston make any noticeable difference compared to the vertex? Apart from hopefully not burning all it's oil inside a couple of rides!!!
Impossible to say without inspecting it in person.
I haven't even got the valves out of the head yet, but would titanium valves not take a lot of stick? I have my fingers crossed that the valves have survived!
