I didn't assume anything. He said his rings were shot. If that's the case and the blowby isn't coming out the breather bolts, it's a fairly educated guess it's being blown past bad guide seals since they were defective in the first place and he's never replaced them. He's more or less confirmed this by the carbon build up in the combustion chamber.
The size of the hole in the bolts can make that much of a difference. I'd be willing to bet just as many are running aftermarket bolts with the bigger holes than are running the stock ones since the first thing people do is get better ACs and vent externally. I haven't seen aftermarket bolts with small holes. I could be wrong. If my oil wasn't getting to the pump, it would be pumping my tank full of bubbles. Which isvwhat was happening with too much pressure and oil not returning. Evident by my leaks. The krankvent stops these leaks by maintaining a constant pressure or slight vacuum and thats a claim I do buy. Too many claims of leaks disappearing to not buy it. Whether it be slight pressure or slight vacuum, I think it does a much better job at maintaining a constant. Too much up and down with the pressure with the stock breathers for whatever reason and it's just not necessary. That's my theory anyway. |

But yes, intake rough for the turbulence(Not intake manifold tho), exhaust smooth. |

I am having trouble getting away at the moment. But I fired mine up and got the oil temp to about 140F, pulled the cap and the engine died. Fired it up with the cap off and it would idle, just a little rough. So it's not the fact of the cap being off that kills the engine. It's a sudden pulling of the cap that does. I also watched inside for froth with the cap off. At idle, a thin layer forms on top of the oil. Pulled the throttle to 3000 RPM and the froth disappeared. Back to idle, the froth came back. I tried to get a short video with my camera but that didn't work out. |

pulses on an engine that has one crankpin. Hence I suspect a head breather will maintain a higher average CC pressure if all els se is equal and both systems have fresh umbrella valves. The other down point is the heat which we seem accept ages the elastomer umbrella valve in the heads. The two points in its favour might be less oil mist in the rockers but that is why crankcase mounted breather have oil baffles and less visible hoses. |

Hahaha..
I'm just analyzing, not worried. I didn't have it to operating temp either. edit: I tested pulling the oil cap back to back with the A/C off and then on. Keep in mind, the oil cap off is allowing CC pressure to escape and atmosphere to enter the engine. A/C on, I get lower RPM and light froth only at idle. A/C off, I get no response difference I could notice but bubbles and froth at idle. I may be goosing the throttle too much to get the temps up though. I'll add, the froth is Not raising oil temp as I have yet to get the temps over 140F. (big fan on the motor) |

Did both about a month ago.
Didn't write the results down (need to start doing that) but they were both good. Actually I wrote them on a piece of cardboard and can't find it. :o |
You might be getting crankcase pressure/oil past you guides too.
On 2nd thought, what carb are you running? And aren't you venting to the AC? |
