My 400ex Is blowing oil out the exhaust really really really bad, not just smoke but oil too, The top end is loading up with oil and it won't run. I know im going to have to tear it down but what do you guys think the problem is?

Is there an echo in here? lol

I just encountered the same problem a month ago. Its one of two things, as Pappy said...the rings. In my case it was the valve seals. I just got my head back yesterday from the shop. Notice how the piston looks wet and the build up of oil on the right side?

You deff need some Rings.

O well you might as well bore it out and get a high compression piston since it is apart. HEHE
