I have been blowing oil out of my middle O rings on the push rods.
I did have a plugged check valve on my rear head vent but replaced it as well as the O rings.
I do have 205 psi in each jug in this built motor. 656V2 cam 11-1 compression or so. John Sach built heads and valves.
Did not start leaking for 2 years after the build after this winter hibernation.
No oil on the upper rod covers. Seems to be coming up and unseating the O ring. Not at idle but at cruising speeds of 70 up..
Any ideas?
The gaskets up top are new and the flappers are not allowing oil to go down.
I am thinking about putting a manual crank pressure gauge in and see what kind of pressure is building down there..
I pulled the screen and cleaned it and the check valve down there as well.
I pulled the covers and tried to reseat the O rings seeing how I found the rear head PCV check valve was plugged after the fact. I do not vent the front cylinder nor have I from the build to the throttle body. I run V twin mobile 1 50wt.
I am open to suggestions on where to look and what to check..
The bike is a monster and has been for the 2 years...
Do not have a problem tearing things back down to check but want to know what I am looking for...
Thanks in advance as always...
