[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 125371, member: 597"] It cost me about 300/400 dollars to make the torque plates and I was using them quite a bit on my earlier rebuilds, but I found that most bikes still spit quite a bit of oil from their breathers for the first 1000 to 2000 Km's or so with each bike differing as much as how the riders use them, this after using the torque plates.......For the last few rebuilds i have not bothered and I can say the difference is not noticeable to me. Given the breathers on these engines is like their cams, pathetically small.......and anything done to improve this is all experimental short of boring a large hole in the cases and using a larger set up like a bevel Ducati, then we have to live with it. I would use the torque plate method if you can, if you weren't so far from me you could borrow mine.......the return postage would be a killer though. [/QUOTE]
