Power Surge,
Can you share the details on your "original" engine build? It would be interesting and informative to hear about what you found through your research. For example, given my recent trials with blow-by, I'm curious to hear how that was addressed on original engines. Was the only venting the
oil recovery tank on the firewall with a line from the rear breather hole on the intake? How did those
oil tanks work? Did you just have to empty them, or did the
oil run back in to the crankcase?
Thanks!
Scott
