Don't worry about the prop Iain...I sorted Hugh out with one, although given his reputation, he'll soon need another ;)

cheers

Exactly what Nessy is doing...caused by a clogged breather I bet.

Not neccessarily - if you overtighten the bolts holding the rocker cover on you can warp it.

I did that to my 345 after adjusting the tappets - I thought (in the absense of a torque wrench) that tightening them until v tight would do it. WRONG - major oil leak, which I thought was a knackered gasket so that got replaced. Hmm, leak still there..........
If you remove the rocker cover you might be able to straighten it with judicious use of a hammer - it worked for me!!
