Sorry for butting in but have you checked your oil level? That would SURE make it hot if the level of oil was really low. Also, I did some research on oils which have a lot of zink (ZDDP) in them and found that Valvoline Heavy Duty Cummins Diesel oil has the most in it. ZDDP is the best anti-friction element you can get that protects metal surfaces against friction wear, especially cams and lifters and cylinder walls. Have been using it a long time and have had absolutely no wear on my scooters and BMW R90/6. The EPA made oil companies take it out of oils because of their concern over polution, but, moreover, when cars started using catalitic converters, they suspected ZDDP was stopping them up (?). I use the Cummins Valvoline in all my cars and have had no problems. The Cummins label is on the front of the jug. Also, by what you said about your exhaust being oily, that would indicate the rings or cylinder are worn out. Good luck. the Old Zipper
