Ok Look at the photo right above this. Look at the end of the connecting rod. It says SCAT right there. At least it looks like it says SCAT. What do you other guys think?

OK, it does look like SCAT, but believe me, its not a scat case. The symbol near the rear (rough casting) is the CB symbol. If I did buy a scat case it would be one of their nicer cases, not a stock unit

Ok I'll drop it! :D
Just remember that 94's are notorious for blow by untill the rings wear in. If you dont have any blowby you got it made. usually there is so much blowby that the oil comes out of the dipstick tube, behind the pulley and the oil fill tower when the motor gets warm. most guys leave the oil fill cap off and tape a peice of heater box hose to the fill tube so there is a lot of open area untill the rings break in.

LOL. I'll keep that in mind thanks....

I suppose this will be a decent test for my breather box...


I have just reloaded all my software onto my PC and I'm too lazy to search for the backups of my files. I'll check sometime to see if I have a better pic of the CB badge so I can prove its not a Scat case.

You dont have to, I know the difference.... I'll wait for Bugger to see if he gets it. Maybe Rift will beat him to it...
