Ditto. About the same miles as the others above. Doesn't smoke or burn but comes out of the breathers under hard throttle. NP, normal and I agree with Armadillo on the solution but I do have a baffle but it doesn't seem to stop it. It's not oppressive but there is a hint of oil now and then. I see it as all part of the hot rod game, the smell of the hot headers, a little unburnt fuel, a hint oil, it's like potpourri for hot rodders. I bet I could market it and make a mint! I would feel a bit cheated if I didn't have some kind of engine fluid smell comeing from under the hood. lol How about when you're idling around in too tall a gear so you can really hear the cam and she starts to load up a bit and you get a bit of raw fuel smell and then you have an excuse to whip the throttle and "clear" the engine.
