Hi guys, back again lol
She's a 99 reg 00, 955i daytona custom lol (speed triple mode)
52k regularly serviced and used daily since May 2019
I was getting the bike ready for mot and noticed the water was low ( I wasn't worried as its happened in the past as the header tank has been known to leak at the connection seal on the tank)
So popped off the metal cap filler under tank flap and after 3 jugs knew Sompting was wrong.... So I looked around the pipes for leaks an nothing coming from the bike, turns out all the water had breeched into the engine oil.
Now my instant thoughts are....
Head gasket ( even though bike runs sweet) obvs not been run since water breech yesterday)
Someone mentioned the cylinder sleeves have a seal but I can't locate it on any schematics or parts lists
I'm gonna be doin the chain an tensioner an headgasket, I'll also wanna do the valve shims too. 1 thing that does worry me is the oil has been quite fuely the last 2 changes and am I likely gonna be doin rings aswell as sleeves?
Is there anything else you would recommend to do on these engines whilst open?
And by chance am I really lucky and is it just a daft valve that has something to do with oil an water lol ( wishful thinking)
I've asked a few questions there and any help will be greatly appreciated as I love my tona.... I'd only replace her for a new 1200 monster R lol
(even then I wouldn't part with her lol)
