[QUOTE="craig, post: 53725, member: 1959"] I did some review of original pieces and compared to recent reproduction pieces I am using. 1) the original cap (more complex construction) to left in photo has venting completely around brass funnel piece, a much heavier spring, and looks like custom construction with tiny funnel. 2) repro engraved oil cap seems to have only venting thru small hole under center brass washer 3) repro cap with no engraving has only center hole vent, but uncovered. Is it possible this oil venting is a problem that was identified during the Vincent years.......appropriate caps were obtained and used.....and as reproductions were produced combined with a lack of research, that [U]the modern oil caps are the problem[/U]?
