After I rebuilt my motor I posted that I was getting oil out of the
breather tube when parked in the garage, and while driving based upon what
I see
on the underside. Because I had newly rebuilt I wrote it off to blow by
and waited until the motor broke in.
Well, I now have 178 - 181 compression readings and nice cardboard brown
plugs and she runs very well. . . and the oil still drips from the
breather
tube. I have an aftermarket alloy valve cover and I have over drilled
the
vent hole in the cap and on the underside of the cap, and don't lay on
the
cap when I screw it on. Still. . .
So I checked my oil level and removed the new felt on the dipstick that
was
about four times thicker than the one that came off and filled the oil to
the 3/4 mark with the new dipstick position. Still. . .
Comments?
My freshly rebuilt engine with a cast valve cover blew oil all over the
place, It really needs that breather cap on top . I replaced my alloy cover
with a factory cover and my problems went away. I gave the cover to a friend
, a machinist, and he added a great big vent and uses it.
