On both sides too Thumbs Up
Must look bikes over with a fine tooth comb in future before buying Rolling Eyes How does this shit even happen?

I'm thinking, that exhaust gum stuff or some sort of heat resistant duct tape should patch her up Laughing

If thats the engine, doesnt it have 'pressure' ?
ie: tape wont work ?

Confused. did you buy it like that or has it thrown a rod whilst you are riding it? If you bought it like that and it's been repaired, how come it isn't spewing oil when it's running?

I don't know, I was going to take the rocker off to investigate the rattling sound and discovered this
I have no fucking clue how when or why it happened

I don't get it at all, bike seems fine other than the noise, did 100 on it earlier for the first time Shifty no oil loss, power seems the same, I think bits of metal may have gotten into it though

rocker is a cunt to get off have to take everything off and airbox seemingly

Oh those holes are in the head fins between the plugs? Don't worry about it then.

I thought it was the crank case.

I know Shocked Shocked Shocked

Fortunately the photo is just over-exposed and they're not actually that bad once removed. I just removed them. They'll still be getting cleaned up and re-seated before assembly though.
