OK folks- this is not for my K bike. My recently acquired oil head Boxer Cup has some oil weeping around the sight glass.
While I have read that K bikes can exist with weepy glass for some time, two 550cc pistons put out more crankcase pressure than four 250/275cc pistons. And considering the present worldwide situation, a rapid glass blow out, the oiled rear tire and possible crash is not something that I want now.
I searched the tech archives and found one thread from OTG (the big guy) that pretty much addressed this removal and install. 2008!

note: one of the more descriptive posts was from Phil Marvin. Newer members might have seen his posts but he is no longer with us.
So does anyone have more input on the removal and replacement? The replacement just arrived from BeemerBoneyard.
