Hey i just got this bike, a CBR 600 F3 1998. It needed some work done to it cause it was in a crash before, nothin to big a radiator, valve cap and stator cover. Once everything was installed and filled up, i started it and in about 30 sec it just started to leak oil like crazy out of these factory holes right below where the exhaust mounts to the engine. There 4 holes one for each valve, about a 1/8 inch in dim. What are these holes for and why is it pouring oil out like that when started?

Not familiar with that engine, but they sound like oil feeds to somewhere, especially if its really spraying out. Sounds like you.ve lost a cap or something that channels the oil to where it goes. Otherwise youve got a SERIOUS leak.
