>then started to repeat the 10 X's but slow
to increase which gave me the feeling of 'SLIPPAGE'. the Oil pressure
was up around 50#@ 3000 Rpm's after warmed up, & temp was constant 160^.
The RPM would jump from 20 -> 3500 as if sliding on ice. I 1st thought,
"Rings Not Seating in", but talked to another list member & the belief
is poor adjustment on Slave cyl. [This is a TR4/A with Gunst TOB, Sach's
PP, double pin fork, etc..]. I also noticed that the clutch took long to
engage [didn't really start to have the clutch catch the Fly wheel until
the peddle read the top of the peddle stroke], as the ride went on.
I rebuilt the engine/all accessories, too; tranny; clutch; but not
the OD. this past two riding seasons. Just as a reminder in knowing the
facts. I would like any helpful input to the slippage? :-\ / blow by :-\
? TIA,

A quick test you should try is when it starts doing that bleed the clutch
slave cylinder and see if it has any effect. If the symptoms go away, then
I suspect the little seal on the end of the rod in the master cylinder is
not being retracted and the hydraulic system is not "equalizing" and your
clutch throw-out is no longer returning far enough.
The description points that way, at any rate.. And it is an easy test and
a fairly easy fix if it is the case.
Good luck
