1986 XL600R Smokes

What do your cam lobes and rocker arms look like after running the motor without the O-ring ?

I only ran it a few minutes. When I tor it down , the rockers , cam etc looked just like they did prior.

My plan is to hone , new rings, valve seals and Lapp job. With a ring gap of .045" would that be the smoking gun for the smoking ? Could the smoke been the result of the extra oil pressure in the lower case due to the missing seal ?

Anyone know a good source for aftermarket gaskets etc ? Also best place for oem parts in us or Canada ?

Thanks everybody for the help.

Honda. If you've gotta be cheap , at least use a Honda rocker box gasket. The laminated metal Honda gasket is also a spacer for the cam.

These run (very) low pressure but high volume systems.

that would make sense when i rebuild my motor Horri said to check the oil flow by loosening the banjo bolt that run oil to the top i did that and there where no high pressure oil leaking out just high flow

My bore measures 100.25mm , the bore and piston are in great shape. Can I get away with just a ring job if I buy oversize rings ? what bore sizes will each range of oversize rings cover ?
