If it is the push rod cam follower shaft holding bolt that has sheared in an attempt to undo when it was only done up to 21ft pounds then something is off...


It however is not really part of the combustion chamber compression chamber.


I need photos to confirm what actually happened.



How the bike ran on lose head bolts is another mystery...


the bike could probably still run with a new head gasket and some slaz(sealer) smeared around the push rod oil return passage circumference.


the cam holding bolt/pin is not super critical to operation...But it might explain why the was the leaky issue in the first place if the bolt had stretched.
