Ah....there you are, Pixel! I answered your
post on this earlier this morning but I don't
see it so here we go, again!
I humbly bow to your knowledge and experience in such matters!
However, I must point out I mentioned
"adequate crankcase ventilation" once in
my prior post; you mentioned this twice with the added caveat of "vacuum
assist".
So, I'll settle for being "somewhat" incorrect in my assessment of the
stock
set-up! :)
But, I must point out I have never had a
Series A which did not leak oil to some extent from this area; which is
not all
bad, BTW. F'rinstance:
1. The oil gets "refreshed" between every
1000-1500 miles; this is good.
2. The undercarriage is somewhat protected from rust; also good.
3. When they used to "re-oil" roads years
ago, I got a personal property tax credit
from the town of Stamford 'cause the road
I lived on and used in my daily travels
never did require this "city service"; this
was VERY good!
Today, they no longer "re-oil" roads, but
"two outta three ain't bad" (thankyou, Meatloaf!!)
