The V30's leaking valve cover problem (that I described a few weeks ago) has been solved. My theory is that the valve cover gaskets had shrunk a tad in their 25 years. I augmented the valve cover bolts with supplemental rubber washers, and carefully tightened.
I know better than to over-tightening my valve cover bolts. I broke one off on a different bike; I won't make that mistake again.
I started her up and she smoked long enough to burn the spilt oil off the rear exhaust manifold, then she cleared right up. I took her for a spin. No more smoke.
