125TS project - Blue smoke

[veloduke]

This place sells Duke stuff;

Has a lot of 125TS/S stuff. You just need google translate .
I bought valves and guides from him, piston from classicducati.co.uk., and rocker pins from either Lacey Ducati or classicducati.com.
Pins were 8mm from a 450.
Hope this helps.

Thanks chaps

Further update. Someone suggested that a blocked breather might be a simple cause. Funnily enough the cap was not on correctly.

Cleaned it up and refitted correctly, and whilst the problem still exists, the amount of blue smoke is reduced.

I have ordered the valve guides from Guzman, but having read the valve guide replacement thread a little spooked that it may be beyond my capabilities. These guides need reaming after firmest as well.

Is there anyone recommended who I can send my head and valve guides to who can install for me?

We need to know where you are! In the UK? Then Lacey Ducati is the obvious choice.
