Unless it's stem seals, oil can't get through the valves

1 litre of oil used / blown/sucked out per 100 miles driven on the 144. Up to using 85-145 gear oil. Stand arrives soon so can start on engine building.

Your an animal... no fear and just diving right in!

This is going to Parkes. Never got around to building the engine though.
Have researched some ways of dealing with the excess crankcase pressure and looks like switching to a 240 pcv and flametrap system will do some good things.
The only thing I don't have planned out is how to do the oil return. Ideas?

20 litre drum on the bonnet

Lol, I am thinking that I can send it to an oil bottle on the front left. Will have to see what the output is like. If it is lots perhaps I can run it back in with a sandwich adapter on the oil filter.

If you put it in same line as oil filter it will pump oil into the catch can?

Put threaded fitting into oil sump and drain into it .

Ah, pressure all wrong, yup.

In the short term, dipstick tube should do the trick. Nice and low and nearby on a b20.

Not something simple like blocked oil return holes in the head causing oil to pump out the top breather?
Ex850R
Why not , as it is a drain , make it poke in and hold itself in place so its easy to check oil and replace? It wouldn't blow out would it?

Good call, I will check.

Mission for today is to fit a 240 PCV system to the b20.
egads (she/her)
And done, bodgetastic but works.

Let's see about oil recycling now?
egads (she/her)
Yup, oil use on the trip to Parkes today will tell.
Ex850R
Safe trip.
egads (she/her)
Made it all the way, some spotting when parked but between the road draught tube and the 240 PCV and 2 stroke oil in the petrol we seem to be onto a winner.

Does it go ring a ding ding on trailing throttle???
