Glad to hear it’s doing better.
I have a few issues that need addressing besides the oil leaks, so if I pull my engine I’ll be killing 3 or 4 birds with one stone. Sad thing is it’s running better...

Moroso breathers are pretty good, and don't get much mist. They are kind of larger, have a divider in them, as well as some 'mesh' (which looks like a cut up 3M pad stuff).

With everything working right, the breathers are really air intakes into the engine and the PCV system is the output. So cheap breathers can leak a little oil out on the valve covers or a mist under...

Just to say, gapless rings are junk IMO. I've seen many have issues with them. Blowby being one of them. They can 'stick' together and not compress right and wear fast. I think they are more of a...

I have to ask, did you use the same machinist each time you rebuilt the engine? Gapless rings are a little finicky I know I have used them in the past. They need a special finish to work correctly....

When I had blowby , I think I took an old pcv valve and just cut out the middle (so valve was mostly open), this did not make much of a difference in the high rpm blowby. So, I generally just ran a...

Seems like you’re on the right track with lack of crankcase ventilation. If you’re going to keep buying and trying PCV valves, consider the ME Wagner. It’s not cheap, but it will for sure do the...

Hey Rich

I think for sure the rubber plug should be cut so crankcase blowby gas can escape at higher rpm. Hopefully, that is what is causing the issue.
