Been reading up a little on head gaskets and am thinking it might need replacing on the son's Ninety.
Although there is no power issues or overheating or fluid contamination it is oily towards the back of the head and down the bell housing.
It does use a small amount of oil and smells a bit of you are following it.
While I'm not over confident about doing it I have done a head gasket on the 2a when we had that. I am a bit concerned on the chances of the injectors being a struggle to get out, can I leave them in?
While I am there I guess I should change the valve stem seals, anything else?
Mileage unknown.
Any checks I should undertake or should I just crack on with it?
All advice and tips are welcome.
