ilanr1 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi , i need help !!! , I was doing today timing and when i install back all , i started the bike and all was good and after 20 sec oil start to drip from that hole. There are 3 holes in the engine , each one is located under each exhaust out , why are they for ?. Is it related to the cover band that i didn't replace this time ?. The bike is starting normally , the drip of oil is according to the rpm of the engine , low rpm a small one , high rpm a bigger one. Any help will be good for me , i'm stuck now.

ilanr1 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 A mechanic answer me that it's maybe the motor breather on the camshaft cover , that it's blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggy Nate Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 You have damaged the cam cover gasket and it is filling up the plug drain hole with oil. You’ll need to pull it off and replace the gasket. Hopefully the rubber isn’t getting chewed up by the cams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperT Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 No, not a breather. Those holes are located in the head so that compressed air can be forced in with a rubber tipped blow nozzle which removes debris from the spark plug cavity in the cyl head once the stick coil packs are removed. As Vduboy mentioned, if you’ve got oil in there, either the valve cover gasket isn’t installed correctly or oil dribbled down in there during servicing that you didn’t notice. Once heated up, it thinned out and made itself known. -Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrustyKush Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Don’t know how it is on the 2015, but on my 21 Tracer, if you don’t use a sticky stuff to hold that gasket in place while you maneuver the cover into place, it is GONNA slip out and you might not notice it until … later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
