Having put the sump back on, I annealed the copper drain plug washers and changed the Oil in the gear box, engine and FD - nothing magical just standard Shell 20W-50 mineral and Penrite 80W-90 in the final drive.
I headed up the road for a test run. 5km later stopped to fuel up and look for patches under the bike. No leaks, oil was at the top of the dip stick so it was time to keep going. Up Nerangba Rd to Morayfield the off to Wamuran. Up Campbell's pocket road, Top Yard, Tidwell and Pedwell to stop for coffee at Mt Mee. Back down the hill to Dayboro and over to Samford - up the goat track and back down the hill to Ferney Grove and Home. not a long run but an enjoyable few hours enjoying the sunshine.
As for the engine, I will look at the oil in another 1500 k's and see what it looks like.
Hope the rest of you got out and about today?

Lee; good progress is being made. If i accidentally set fire to anything it will be my house unfortunately. I've had 5 days of distractions but I'll get back to it tomorrow. I'm still 2 or 3 weeks away from getting new valve guide seals.
