The amount you will loose will be very little,
It will take a long time before you see oil level drop.
As neo siad if you can live with it leave it.

If you do it yourself it's a head gasket and a set of valveguide seals,
If you put it in a dealers it will cost you a fortune.

Youll be cheaper buying a new engine.. easily run a couple of hundred quid to do the job.clubber122 wrote:Okay, fair enough haha, thats why we ask questions right? what parts am i looking to buy to do this job then? ive googled for NC24 valve seals but not sure what i need
Clean the valve stems off a bit for now and see how runs, give it a good ride for a couple of months at least and make sure nothing else breaks or that you dont like the bike / want something better before ploughing any more money onto it..

Re: NC24 Smoking on Startup
Okay, ill keep my eyes peeled, thats going to mean a collector box as well, i know it will fall apart when i disturb it, ive wanted a VFR400 since i was 16 when i started road riding (im now 25), however how i know about them i would preffer an NC30 since you can get parts for them more readily!Neosophist wrote:Youll be cheaper buying a new engine.. easily run a couple of hundred quid to do the job.clubber122 wrote:Okay, fair enough haha, thats why we ask questions right? what parts am i looking to buy to do this job then? ive googled for NC24 valve seals but not sure what i need
