[QUOTE="Rock Monster, post: 26097, member: 5"] Once I had the fresh head parts I took it to a local shop and it was only $75 to have the head reconditioned, the cylinder honed, and he even offered to put all the parts back into the head for me. I wanted to do it myself so he just gave the parts and it was easy. As far as KTM I really don't know that much about the motor parts. I would suggest that you just start with taking the head and the cylinder off to access the piston and rings. After this you will have the ability to post pics and get advice or go to your local shop. I would almost be certain with as much spooge is coming out of the exhaust, that the vavle seals are totally shot for sure. If you have never done anything to your bike and don't know what previous owner did, then you may be in for a full rebuild. The only way to know is to start at the top and work your way down. Another important thing is to check your crankshaft balancer rod clearance and make sure it is in spec. You should buy a manual or find a downloadable one for the best reference on the step by step.
