I'm considering blocking off my head vents and running a -10 or -12 breather solely from the oil filler/breather to a Morosso breather tank (or the like). The idea here is to keep the crankcase at a lower pressure than the heads so the oil tends to move from high pressure to low (aka from the heads to the case).
Anyone else doing this yet? If so any comments or pictures? Thanks! |

This weekend I wrote an article that covers the testing that Jake and I did on this subject and posted it to my website. Our methods, why we did the tests in the first place, our observations and our explanations of what we observed are all in there.
Folks can (and likely will) debate this subject as long as these engines exist, but this should at least put to rest the notion that we made up our position on the subject just to be provacative. http://www.hamincgroup.com/type4-test.php |
