Repiped and done 20 miles. Not a drop underneath. That's good, but...crikey, you must have some blow-by if it shoots oil out of the dipstick tube. I might block mine later and compare before I damn your piston rings but last time I checked the breathing was undetectable. |

How much pressure can you feel from the crank case breather pipe?
Hopefully it’s just a case of the charcoal breather filter getting sludged up causing pressure in the case to build up.
If there’s a lot of pressure coming out of the breather when disconnected from the filter then your getting combustion gasses blowing past the piston rings and pressuring the case

I might block mine later and compare before I damn your piston rings but last time I checked the breathing was undetectable. A slug of oil came out, not at speed, when I revved it quickly using the linkage. Didn't seem to be a lot of pressure behind it and at idle there was no noticable pressure at the dipstick tube. I guess if there was a lot of pressure, the dipstick bellows would have exploded. Engine is running well and pulls strongly. |

If there’s a lot of pressure coming out of the breather when disconnected from the filter then your getting combustion gasses blowing past the piston rings and pressuring the case Not particularly noticeable pressure and no combustion gasses. See how it goes.
Edit: How's the Paravan? Not kept up to date.

Fingers crossed 👍 My vans in a state☹️ It needs bodywork re doing and painting again and I’m still engineless |

Repiped and done 20 miles. Not a drop underneath. I 'may' have called time on the oil leaks being gone a little early. Still got some on the Left side, 1,000 miles last week showed up what I still have to find. Not stopping until it's dry. |
