Leaking Oil from cam endcap (I think that is what it is called) 1978 CB550K
« on: March 20, 2010, 09:05:23 AM »
I am having a major brain fart. I read somewhere on this website that if you have leaking oil from the cam end caps (I think that is what it said) that the head is going to have to come off. Why is that? Is something clogged?

I tried to research more information, but am coming up with nothing.

Please advise.

I know how they come apart. I was just reading something that had me alarmed that if they leak (maybe it is something else) that the head needs to come off.

Anyone know what I am talking about?
