Well, as some of you know, my XT packed up :mad:. I'll let the pictures explain - the oil line to the head was clogged with RTV gasket maker, the counterbalance gear is WELDED onto the shaft, and some other minor niggles. The head was scuffed, the camshaft too. Gudgeonpin was totalled, and the piston was rocking in the bore pretty badly. In short...THIS IS HOW YOU STUFF UP AN ENGINE
