Re: Oily Air Box
With that much oil coming out of the crankcase vent I would bet an ice cold Yuengling Lager that the rings were unseated, regardless of whether or not the pistons were left in jugs.

Re: Oily Air Box
Do you think a compression test would show your concern? How about a leak down test?
Could the pressure relief valve just have failed at this particular time, stranger things of timing have happened to me? St.

Re: Oily Air Box
Agree Craig. Plus what Kurt said in his last post regarding the path of the leak.

Re: Oily Air Box
I just finished the R90S Dellorto’s and will bring the R100GS/PD back to the table to check oil level and compression.
I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks
