Valve clerance good but still noisy
its usual to use RT and LT marks on the crank for timing, hence the reason they are there. what sort of oil are you using?

I got my 81 xs400 running WOOO!!!
oil shouldn't be leaking out and it can only come from the camshaft seal or the joint between the cam cover and head which has no gasket or sealant. I have 2 small holes on mine andI assume they are in case of water ingress/condensation For a cafe racer, i recommed the xs750/850 three's one on youtube and it looks great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owwd19VDbpg

XS400 Brake Caliper
your html was all over the place, it just needs the IMG tags which are copied from you photobucket account! dural (duraluminum) is a hard aluminium used for stressed items. this is not my project but some thing i pinched off german ebay at the time. it looks like all you need is the plate and the caliper alingns with the disk! drewps

ORDERING PARTS FROM THE STATES
bought loads from USA and with UPS you always pay customs duty value over £18. If you go general air/snail mail I can usually get away with it if they put "gift" on the package.

should fit as the holes are the same and I dont belive yamaha changed their castings. I think you also have a camshaft seal gone, but check first that the camshaft doesn't rock whilst still bolted in the head!! ( worn) drewps
