Yes. Oil level too high in timing chest due to oil leaking from oil feed to crank. Return pump can't maintain proper oil level in timing chest. Leaking into points housing and other places. Does the bike wet sump or smoke excessively at startup?
The only smoke is when I kick it, and it chuffs back through the carb, and I get oil smoke out the air filter (K&N). It doesn't do it always, but sometime it will, and then start normally. Sometimes, it kicks back and the kick start lever wags briskly like a happy dog with LOTS of clatter. Not sure why, but that can't be good lol. Since I changed the bonded seal and worm gear, it doesn't appear to be leaking out the ignition cap. But, the head gasket does leak oil from the pushrod tunnels, and it appears that it is leaking more now. What once was just oil on the fins on the timing side, now has migrated over the the primary side, and is leaking down onto the cases. I am going to change the duckbill breather back to lube the chain, as out the back oils up the saddlebags, and also the rear of the bike... and the catch bottle helps, but it sometimes slips and rubs through on the tire, which then oils up the side of the tire... also not good lol. I am thinking of plumbing in an oil/air separator in the breather line, and see if that will help, if not, I am going to get the Hitchcock's kit to return the oil into the oil tank. It is a messy dilemma that I face right now!
Have you ever heard of an oil return passage becoming blocked so that the timing chest/crankcase won't return the oil sufficiently fast enough to clear the crank area? I was thinking that the oil drilling might have swarf in it, but not sure how I would clear it if it did. Anyway, it is better now that I have changed the seal, but not alleviated entirely.
