Thank you for reading this and I will thank you even more if we can get to the bottom of my white smoke issue.
The problem began one sunny day and I was coming home after a long ride my baby started to run on one cylinder which got me home, thinking it was an electrical
problem with the igniter's system I changed the plugs , no change, the CDI, no change and the right coil started to smoke so I changed the coil and rectifier which cured the
electrical problem, that didn't change it running on one cylinder and it started to smoke from the exhaust on no two cylinder, I did a PSI check and didn't find anything wrong
with the bore pressure, maybe its the head gasket, well I changed that and it and the valve seals, checked the bore limits with an accurate three decimal point internal ball gauge it had a little wear so changed the barrels pistons, when I stripped the engine I noticed a abnormal amount of engine oil in the combustion chamber Ah! I thought, maybe it has a blocked breather or the oil port may be blocked or the RV has stuck, stripped cleaned and decided to check the viscosity of the oil all checked changed, started her up running on two but still blowing white smoke, no sump pressure removed the oil plug on the side oil running out normally Mmm! maybe the head has a fault in the cast after reading an enthusiast saying they have know a cylinder head being compromised after having the cam journals over tightened, got a low mileage cylinder head checked for valve seat leaks and stem seal wear, put he back together fired her up, white smoke again still running on two revs up ok. I have cleaned the sump, strainer, filter, blown compressed air up every orifice renewed orings on the ports with orings, the pump has been stripped looks perfect. P.S. it had been running perfectly but the previous owner did say he had to change the barrels that's it. What do you think, has anyone got some guidance to give regarding this, the head gasket is an expensive one however, it has a silver coating not the normal black plastic covering or am I clutching at straws?
Update! My TRX still has white smoke even after checking the co2 at the garage where a sniffer checked the content, taken the air filter off and checked ingress, ran her for three fan starts and cooling checked the cooling pipe at the bottom of the barrels and the O'ring re-sealed filled her back up with red five year coolant runs on both thumpers but is still receiving some oil or coolant somewhere in the system. I am not going to give up ever!! Whats that chemical you can put in the water to test for coolant leaks?? I have thought of putting 5/30w viscosity using low revvs to see if calms down what do you think ? TC

For anyone who's interested an update from my white smoke issue. Are you ready?? ... I had put some really expensive spark plugs in which were purchased from my Local Foley Motorcycles shop, Gazza looked in the spark plug ref book and these iridium ones came up,
