Elmar-----, I'm sure you are right. I am a rook when it comes to FE's. I don't know the ins & outs of positive & neutral ventilation, I'm just trying to stop oil mist on the underside of my ride. My sideoiler only has 5700 miles on the rebuild; and in talking with Lee Holmon last week, He said if I kept the engine @ 6500 rpm's or less. I could expect 50K(rev limit set @ 6300) before the next refresh. You guys are way more experienced than I in FE's. I've always been a sbf guy until now. thou I've been hooked on them sence my 1st ride in a FE/AC 40+ yrs ago. As my engine stands now; she is a screaming banshee!! She just blows enough oil, that I'm required to wipe down the under carrage more than I'd like. Do you think I should take a different path to oil leak prevention? Thanks
