xyzer,and tom., some oil is blowing out the breather, but I'm getting some from the mains,cam shaft,and some from the lifter for the injection pump.
it's like I'm not creating enough vaccum to keep the oil in.
the breather doesn't seem to be blowing excessive amount of pressure out of it. i don't think i have much blow by the rings.
I've tried turning the spring steel valve over and it helps a little.
i just don't think the valve is working as good as it should.,that's why i was experimenting with the brass check valve.
