Blow by?

Post by Hendriksz »

Evening, stripped the engine and replaced piston Rings with 0.4mm gaps and clocked at 10 & 2 o'clock with oil ring at 12, gasket between alternator stand and engine placed downwards CCC, oil level is correct. Engine fired up quickly but have notice that oil is spitting out by the breather quite a lot at idle. I'm based in Cape Town Northern suburbs.... Thanks for your advice....

Openings of that metal plate should point towards flywheel.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).
