COngrats on the new loop! Mine is still DOA so I'm a little jealous.
And stop the talk on the hot rod merc. the 49-51 are the sexiest cars ever
made. Until the mopar muscle cars came along that is.
As to your problem. I would hazard a guess that it is not the cyclinder, but
the crank case breather. (I dnon't know how familiar you are with the loop,
so I might sound a little simplistic) the black tin box that sits just aft
of the generator is the breather. There should be 3 hoses on it. 2 short
ones that the box sits on top of and one thicker long one that should run
down uderneath the bike. I suspect the last one might be AWOL and so the
breather might be dripping on to the case?
One of the things I have learned about these beasts is that there is a lot
of places for them to leak oil in such a way that you think the
head/cylinder is leaking.
keep us in the loop (yech, sorry)

This spring I bought my second loopframe . My first was a new '70 Ambassador then a 20+ year layoff. Filling my needs with 2or3 hot rods a chopped '51 Merc. some hopup VWs,MGs and a Corvair.After the wife it was time for a bike. So I started looking for a loopframe. I found a 75 850T well it was a Guzzi so I bought it, rode it for 3years then had transmission problems. This spring I was still looking for a loopframe. I got home form work and on my answering mmachine was a messagefrom a diehard Harley friend. He says I have a '74 Guzzi in my back yard are you interested. I bought it the next day for $1200.It runs better and stronger then my 'T'. The only thing I HAD to do aside from tires was rebuild the generator then replace te regulator. Then some personal touches. But 2 weeks ago on the way back from Grand Rapids Guzziin MI. to South Bend IN. I ran out of gas at about 75mph. which is know big deal in its self But my reserve is slow and will not keep up with the throttle so I ran down the road at 1/2 throttle for aabout a 1/8mi. to a rest stop and as I was putting gas in I noticed oil down the left side from behind the cylinder. It has never done this befor or sense. The oil was up were it sould be on the stick when I ran out, and when I got home it was not down any.
