OK, I need some mintrail engine help...

The Z50 is running fine, but it is puking oil out of a factory hole in the front of the head.  Hole is supposed to be there.  I pulled the head off all the way back o the crankcase--the "hole" is an oil passage that leads all the way back to the crankcase.  There doesn't seem to be any type of valve anywhere--just an open passage all the way to the OHV's.

Any help?

Crankcase breather tube ?  Do a compression test, rings may have wear  .

First of all -- Z50 -- rings shot.  We'll run it to death until I have time to rebuild top end. 

 This weekend I picked up a real ugly bike for the kids (and me).  Best I can tell it is a Honda XR80.  We rode it for a few hours yesterday.

No seat, but a few minutes with some extra foam and we were good to go !!!  It is really ugly and beat, but it runs great.

Ugly bikes are always the best when your a kid. Mine still talk about a Honda 200sx

they had 7-8 years ago. Boy was it a real beater, but man would it run !
