The club sell good gasket sets. There are no seals on the valve guides. If you have new pistons/rings, bores etc it could be it just needs running in. As the rings settle in the smoke should ease off in a few hundred miles or so. There is an adjustable screw to lubricate the inlet guide. This should only be a sixth of a turn out. This might be the problem. You need to join the club to get all the benefits of the spares and help from members, etc.

Easy, www.jampot.com and click membership. There you can do it all online. For what it's worth, the club are now the largest stockists of L/W parts, but that doesn't mean we have everything and there are holes that we're filling in whenever possible. Made harder by the fact that good literature for these bikes is not readily available like the H/W models. This forum however is the best you'll find for Lightweights.
