So I went ahead and took the valve cover off to see if a valve stem seal came off or something. Sure enough the exhaust valve, valve guide seal had come off. I double checked the parts fiche on bike bandit and the valve guide seals are the same for all years and k and f models. Maybe these are not great seals or something? But they never seemed like they fit properly. I'm going to pull the spring off and reseat that seal and hopefully get it up and running again.

Not sure if this will help or not but this is a youtuber I watch who does a lot of work with Honda engines and he posted a video dealing with valve seals a few months ago

Are you going to mount a seat with springs? Seems appropriate for a hardtail like this

I think the guy from Classic Octane on youtube was at that handbuilt show

Oh yeah did he have a bike in the show or was he just there?

I think he entered a bike - your photo of the black honda with flat seat looks like his work. He's just restarting his channel after (my impression) working a normie day job for a year or two
