the original oil plug has been welded shut and relocated by previous owner but the weld is not a 100% tight so it's always leaking a tiny bit, nothing major, other then that oil level has always been fine, the rattle always been the for me (even on the 2013 kx250f i had) so it migth just be me being paronaid as i tend to be when it comes to my dirtbike, :| although im not actully made of money so i can't get a new clutch for a while and 87 mod appears to be extinct :|

at this point...I myself would break the whole motor down.
the person you bought it from obviously raked you over the coals, and sold you a bike/motor that's clapped out....better to tear it all down now, and replace all the bearings and all the seals....then you KNOW what you have, and aren't "hoping" the guy that sold you it did it.
otherwise you could be having constant issues...and breaking down out in the woods, or where ever.
it sucks, I know...I've been there....that's why any used bike I buy now, gets COMPLETELY torn down, and completely gone over, with all new bearings and seals....and I don't mean just the motor...everything.
you can get the bearings made from a local bearing shop if need be...that can save you a lot of money.
OR...you can sell the motor, and use the money towards a newer motor.

i still have a bucket of engine parts that looks to be the original motor so if im lucky i can save up some money and ship it to sandblaster and have him rebuild the original 93 engine and also find the missing parts :-o i mean if im going to spend the money on rebuilding a engine migth aswell be the newer original rigth? i just hope the is'nt a serious unfixable reason it got swapped out in the first place
