    Hi all,have got major oil leak on gs550 coming from base gasket oring area on lh side just above starter motor so will have to pull cylinders and head to replace.

    tried re torqing head bolts didn't help matters .

    rebuilt engine 2000 miles ago rebore 1mm oversize pistons,compression tested and compression hot throttle wide open has always been

    1 130
    2 125
    3 130
    4 135

    bike goes well but have not got more than 95mph out of it. all valves are good and adjusted. no brakes aren't sticking!
