    Hi.
    The bike has the pairs disconnected and during a valve clearance check I got oil and some emulsified sludge from the PAIRS connection on the cam cover. Strangely, the emulsified stuff was only from cyl 3 and 4.
    The PAIRS feed to the exhaust valves on 3 and 4 was also full of emulsified oil too.
    The engine oil seems clear and clean.
    Any ideas where the emulsification is coming from?
    Cheers.

    Condensation probably. Clean it all out and don't start it in winter unless getting the engine up to proper temperature.

    Thanks. That's what I thought. There doesn't seem anywhere the water jacket could leak and fill the PAIRS passages.
    Properly wobbled me when I saw the creamy sludge!
