So many oil leaks.
Even had oil mist out the windshield defrost vent! What causes so much oil around the cylinder/case interface? Pretty wet on both sides.  Side where I attached the oil breather to air cleaner has built up oil on back side of intake valves!!  Have to figure out a better way for head and case vent. On a positive note, 6 8 6 6 % leakdown!! |

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Feb 17 2022, 12:46 PM)  A Breather Can from Tangerine. No more drawing vapors from the engine thru the carb/s. +1, though installed too late for my engine. It needed a rebuild before I did it. It does smoke less though. I had a quick email discussion with Len Hoffman about this issue. His take was to thread and cap the vents and don't run them. https://newsite.hamheads.com/2016/12/10/typ...tests-analysis/ Contentious issue... |
