pezsox 31 #1 Posted February 22, 2014 how much oil should vent from the small breather hole on the front of the engine? I am getting more than I think I would have anticipated. What would cause this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckrancher 2,694 #2 Posted February 22, 2014 none no oil should be coming out of the breather vent not being assembled right or badly worn rings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pezsox 31 #4 Posted February 22, 2014 quite possibly both could be correct. LOL. I got the engine running and cleaned and painted, but really did not put any work into the interior of the engine. I literally just got it running, so maybe I will let it "break itself in" and check back. thanks as always Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #5 Posted February 24, 2014 can someone let me know how much oil should be put into the engine. I thought it was 1.5 quarts. It is not leaking when it sits, only leakin when it runs. I think I have it narrowed down to the valve cover/breather vent. It is the first time I got it running for any duration, and it runs great, just making a mess. I did not rebuild or put rings in it, I just got the carb cleaned, painted, and put it back on. Is there a rebuild kit available, and how much would that be or anyone have a suggestion of who to get it from. If I dismantle it, I want to do it right with the right parts. and have someone local do the machining or whatever for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pezsox 31 #8 Posted February 24, 2014 I am going to go home and get look at the dipstick and see if it is way over. I hope it is just that, I am not an engine man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #9 Posted February 25, 2014 at this point it is too late to start my engine, but... I think I used 1.5 quarts instead of 1.5 pints - so hopefully I will know more tomorrow. You guys have forgotten more than I will ever know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys have forgotten more than I will ever know. Don't start & run your motor, check the oil level with it cold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
