So to further introduce myself, i come to you fine fellows with what my woes are at the moment. To make a really long and embarrasing story short my bike was running well and then because of some forseeable circomstances, it wasnt! what i was left with after the fact was a burning right cylinder. Now iv posted this in honda twin before and gotten many many many responces but i figured id give you guys a go and see if anyone has other ideas.
some background info to give you a better idea
-the compression tested 155(L) 150(R)
-right cylinder is burning a LOT of oil. like i said in my introduction thread, burning enough oil to trick you into thinking its a 2 stroke.
-**bonus information, when we did the valve adjustment the exhaust valve lock nut was fused with the actual adjuster. didn't break it free but adjusted it by rotating the lock bolt and the adjuster together.
so my question. what is making it burn oil. 50% say rings 50% say valve seals. Does anyone here think it could be from the stuck valve adjuster possibly coming loose and letting the valve sit open too much dripping oil into the cylinder?
side note, and this could be completely irrelevant, when i look into the cylinder via the spark plug hole, when the intake valve is open, its relatively clean and shiny. when the exhaust is open its coated in oil. not carbon but oil. even on the seat of the valve.
