Thanks Gavin.
What you have just said could most definately be the problem that my bike is suffering from...
Just like your XT, all of my head is perfect. New valve stem seals and even had the 'suspect' valve guide replaced with a custom made bronze one. The only thing it really leaves is the rings & bore.
Thank god these engines are simple and easy to work on!
Like i said, i'll let you know what I find after I get back from my honeymoon in a month or so and I dust my bike off and drag it out of the shed!
Cheers, Dan.
