on the side of the road
nwguy:
Broke down on the side of the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Boone near Glendale Springs. No internet; my wife is typing this as I talk to her by phone. If you have any suggestions, please call me --- my number is 206-898-9000.
Looks like it might be a blown head gasket...oil is running down the side of my right cylinder. Engine still runs; I stopped because I saw oil on my right boot. Thanks in advance for your help. Jim
LowRyter:
Check the valve cover gasket. Notoriously bad. If so, you can ride until you make repairs but could ruin a pair of jeans. If this is the culprit, get some gasket maker at the auto part store.
Don't ask me how I know this.
tris:
Have a look at the oil feed Y hose between the cylinders.
Mine made a right mess when it failed
Good luck!!!!!
LowRyter:
just called him. I think it's the VC gasket.

Yep, original ones are junk. What John said.
Is that VA or NC?
