Re: gl1100 oil in water
run a compression test and let us know what readings you have on each cylinder

What does that convert to foot pounds? It sounds ok since they are all even though.

Re: gl1100 oil in water
8.5-9 bar is 120-130 psi. That's not great - compression should be more like 170 psi (11.7 bar). Are you seeing that low pressure on all four cylinders?geomac1 wrote:What does that convert to foot pounds? It sounds ok since they are all even though.
What about the plugs? Are any (all) of them bright, shiny and steam-cleaned?

Re: gl1100 oil in water
If any of the plugs are showing a different color, and since you are getting oil in the water in under 60 miles it has to be getting in somewhere where the oil is under pressure and the water jacket is in close proximity. Not sure if you overheated the engine and might have a little bit of a warp on the head. Just a guess since I'm not looking at it.
