Shaolinfist is on a distinguished road
Drained the oil and other than it smelling of fuel there is no contamination. I tried looking into the spark plug hole and under the rocker cover but cannot see anything from there. When I have time will take the engine out and remove the head. It sounds like the piston rings have gone and they are scraping the barrel.

Are there any guides around for stripping the XT engine? I heard Kev had done one but cannot find it.
