Re: Oil breather ECAS Sean wrote: Damaged oil controller rings in fact worn rings won't necessarily show up on a comp test if there is enough oil to seal up the damaged bores/rings
Oil in the air box points to damaged rings (140 is on the low side especially if the other side is showing 150)
What's the vaccume at high revs pipe in dipstick everything else connected.
Advanced timing can cause a healthy engine to blow oil. True but they are OK. I replaced the crank shaft before heading for Spain. All rings are OK Variation of 10 PSI (max 10 %) is OK. Full vacuum at high revs. No advance timing and no blue smoke.

"Were" ok something could have let go? Yes possible but the old original breather did exactly the same thing, hence the replacement to a new ECAS breather but to no avail

Re: Oil breather ECAS Russell wrote: Interesting. Why doesn't it evaporate out of my engine? It forms an emulsion inside the filler cap and rocker covers? It does. Some oils have a bad habit of forming mayonnaise especially underneath the breathe/oil filler cap. That is the coolest place allowing condensation.

Re: Oil breather ECAS I use ECAS breather on turbo and my pipe goes to a container - in about 15,000kms since fitting there is about 150cc of oil in there. These engine normally blow oil - dont they?

Re: Oil breather ECAS Hmmm
I thought that's why there is a pipe from breather to air filter to burn off any excess oil vapour

Boggy Correct but mine is filling the air filter housing at a alarming rate. Bypassing the housing is reducing the oil pissing out significantly. Here feeding and lubricating the chassis. Obvious the vacuum through the carburetor is partly to blame but maybe the oil breather has a design fault????

Re: Oil breather ECAS take the lid off unsrew the philips head screw and check there is no raged bits of metal stopping the spring reed valve from closing
but if it was the same with the last breather then id be looking at the rings and bores.
