I'm puzzled that an oil ring has broken and part of it escaped without damaging the cylinder wall... are the top compression ring gaps and piston / bore clearance within spec? No blue smoke or fouled plug, just white smoke and low compression from a broken oil scraper ring.
Is this a 750/4? Pics would be interesting...

big +1 on cleaning the pan. You won't believe how much sludge will be in there. And you can "hose upwards" with brake cleaner spray and clean the underside of the internals while the pan is off.KZB2 650 wrote: Am wondering since you have it that far if you should pull the pan and look for that piece .... you could clean all the sludge and gasket material you probably dropped out at the same time.....
You will want to get the valves turned and replace the seals while you are doing this, also the O rings on the oil feed pipes going up to the head. Guess how I learned that...... :ohmy:
