hey. i put up a couple more pictures. That diagram of the fitting on the oil seal pipe in my mind looks just like it! But the fluted part I don't know the machinist term for it seems again according to the diagram to be "outside" the "inside" of the crankcase. Don't it?

alleyoop and co. must be onto something since if in fact it was that oil seal it would blow out my pipes and never stop...you know the telltale cloud of blue smoke. Or it was happening all summer and I never saw the smoke and like alleyoop says the rings are going. I have to think in scooter years and miles since 12,000 on a scoot could compare to what 70 grand on a car?

I guess im going to settle on something that was in there that was not supposed to be and when I jacked it up on the stand BEFORE I changed the oil it tumbled down...whatever it was....thinking that as unbelieveable as this sounds while it was running full throttle whatever it was COULDNT drop down.

i dont want to go on and on but this bike whatever trouble it was has always and get this left me in walking distance of my house. The only time i had a tow was when I used to do tire changes at this place and I never imagined you wouldn torque down the rear axle nut. They didnt and I nearly lost a rear wheel at speed. That was the one time the scoot's karma failed tatsvamasi.

So I gotta go with Lottery Winner...Today is a fine day before a week of winter and I will ride no doubt. I will post for everyone's benefit if something develops. Hope there ain't another shoe to drop if you get my drift!

 Hey thanks for the reply! Can I just say.....you dudes are the best! I mean the dudes like you who respond with just a chance to help somebody out. Hey in case you can't see it here in the in line URL. You should be able to the part and my guzzi. It ain't a Guzzi of course...but with my new pipes I get head turns!

You should see the part I found. You photo shows the elements I am familiar with the screen, spring etc. but this bugger has got me totally flummoxed. What is it? I was thinking without ever having cracked open a block any block that it was in some machined insert for the pistons in the cylinder wall and just fell out...but that can't be.....it woulda torn something up! It had to be from somewhere "up" right?

Jeeze I sure don't know. Like I said just noticed it when I changed the oil this time. BTW I meant what I said about you dudes especially that valve tutorial I guess was on SD...that deal solved every problem I had and this little scoot has given me nothing but the best rides since!

Like I said she cranks up an hums after three ties like always, a little tougher now that its colder even though she's geerage kept.

Anyway anything you can come up with is cool. Lemme thank the other dude too.

Hi there sorry. In order to start this thread I thought I could attach a photo. I went through the Help section several times and did not see either a paper clip icon or any further notion of how to attach. I am using an ipad.

So anyway I changed my oil yesterday on my 2008 Roketa 250.---BTW before I get to my issue the gentleman who posted the original valve adjustment tutorial has always been my hero since he is the reason I have turned 12,000 trouble free miles (except for stuff caused by local people I used to bring it to to repair).

Anyway yesterday I changed the oil as I do every 1000 miles and in the bottom of the crankcase was a "fluted" engine part about a half inch long. I wish I could figure out how to show you my bike and the part. Obviously it came from "inside" the engine. I was installing a slip on muffler from parts for scooter and since I have always run the guzzi as I call it though I know its not a guzzi well into the winter now on these warm days we get in the Northeast. I wear a full crochrocket suit and fullface Core. Pretty comfortable. I have always done above 60 or more runs on our blue routes staying away from North Jersey.
Anyway, i didnt mean to start a whole thread either. I havent been here in a while obviously since I adjusted the valves this bike has given me nothing but pure pleasure and a finger from Harley rider once...maybe it wasnt me ha-ha. Yea and hello to you too!

Anyway anybody out there with a similar discovery or somebody. Please help! Thanks!
