Spray off the oil with carb cleaner or your never know where it's all coming from.

I'd recommend cementing the cam plugs in place on re assembly, using some type of sealeer.

They like to slide and pop right out if You don't. The tighter the cover bolts, more prome

to push them out. If you get pulgs from z1 enterprizes, they are really tight and cementing

is a must.

Wash the engine with water and dish washing soap to get rid of the oil on the engine and let dry. Spray the head and junks with foot powder. The restart the bike and make note of where the leaks are coming form.

Do it yourself, isn't hard.
