my motor is slowly dying. today i was doing my reg. maintanence and noticed there was some wet oil residue on the right side of my motor where the head meets the cylinder. i believe it is a leaky head gasket,also the last time i have been riding some blue smoke puffs out of my exhaust when i let off or gas it hard.however my quad always starts up and runs excellent and doesn't seem to have lost any power.i guess now i'm going to go to a motor build sooner than i expected. i was also thinking of just doing a hi comp piston w/stock bore and cam/valves instead of the 416 to try to keep it reliable. any thoughts would be helpful thanks.

yea u either blew a head gasket or your base gasket is going, and for the exhaust leak take off the header, and put in some new exhasut gaskets, if your burning oil i would suggest to vore it .20 over and get an 11:1 85mm JE piston
