[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 16638, member: 109"] Come on Ernie, I want to know what breather set up you use???????? Please....... Me, well after tweeking this, touching that, a quarter turn here and seating properly that and with a standard timed breather with the pipe extended past the rear spindle my bike is pretty close to oil tight most of the time - certainly satisfactory for me. The single biggest improvement to the whole engine in terms of oil tight warm oil long distance I encountered was sealing the dynamo properly - so now the primary level stays put, so that probably means the gas leaking mains are balancing the crankcase and primary pressures so oil stays where it is and a full set of Neal Videan seals on the engine, everywhere (great stuff) finish the job. Oh that and several hundred beer vouchers to a man who knows how to build an engine repaired the damage caused by someone else who had been paid several hundred beer vouchers and should have known better and we're getting somewhere. But I've only done 8000 miles on the engine so far.......next to nothing. Great fun isn't it. Breather info please Ernie............? Oh how I wish that JB posted on the Forum, I bet she'd have some useful advice to add on this subject. Regards Stuart [/QUOTE]
