I am having a right saga with my 850, I have had the head off 3 times now. I will describe the whole epic another time - head gaskets, stripped studs etc!!
I fitted new inlet valve guide seals to the existing valve guides which are not worn, but within 200 miles or so these have failed, the top part has torn away in the form of a small ring. HAs anyone else had any experience of these? They seem vital as oil gets down the guides & burns when they are faulty
