Oil from where, Marty? A hole in the cases or the breather - big $ difference! My SF1 did a breather flow south of Darwin - VERY worn rings and bores.

Head gasket on the rh cylinder, pumping oil everywhere. Just another project for the shed.....
Chris Pritt coming to pick me up, Chris Kay will get the bike.

For sale, one slightly used 3C, barely run in. Extensive racing pedigree, only the smart investors should apply.

Marty phoned me, like any normal person would …….Did Chris K ‘reach out to you’ by any chance?
Bike will be picked up tomorrow, along with Chris Pritts.

Marmalade the recalcitrant 3C is back in the shed. Thanks to Chris Kay and his huge Tonka truck setup. Job well done. Sorry about all the oil in your trailer.....
Oh, and I don't think there was any reaching, none that I felt anyway

#1 185psi
#2 160psi
#3 70psi
Hmmmmmmmm
I reckon it blew the gasket into the oil return line which pumped the oil out. Will have to wait to see. Engine out.....

Cam cover off, stud at the back of #3 piston has let go, no tension at all. All the other studs still at correct tension. Compression gases have gone straight into the cam chain tunnel, pressurising the crankcase. Oil pressure would not have been effected, no other damage. Engine out, timeserts to the cases. Wish me luck.

One stud, which is really weird. How does one stud pull out?

Who knows? Maybe that thread was always a bit marginal, and on that last WOT run it had finally had enough and let go. You gotta expect these things with old bikes.
Good to catch up in Tassie. Hats off to you old farts for travelling all that way on clunky old Laverdas. I reckon that kind of distance on my Jota would kill me. That's why I bought the Multistrada with its fancy electronically adjustable suspension. It's way more comfortable to ride, but I find all the computer wizardry a bit frightening. If that gear goes tits-up there's no fixing it on the side of the road.

Took a Multistrada from Melbourne to Townsville.
Big bugger never moved an inch. The braless tits on the customers daughter at the delivery pointy, won’t be mentioned
God bless her…
