: Hi again.
: After reading Oscars posting I must
: admit I'm a bit jealous. I can't get
: 2000 miles on an engine let alone
: 200,000
: As an update to my smoke issues:
: After removing the valve cover and
: rocker arm and taking off the valve
: springs on No.6 intake. Which was the
: worst cylinder. The valve seal looks
: perfect and so does the guide to stem
: clearance.
: As for crankcase breathing I'm just
: not sure what to think. I have never
: seen a TR engine with absolutely no
: blowby until this one. With the engine
: running and the filler removed from the
: valve cover there is nothing coming out
: the top. Either this is a really tight
: fitting engine compression wise, or
: there is no crankcase venting going
: on.. Oil does flow back to the
: crankcase though so it must be O.K.
: Also I restricted the external rocker
: arm oiler down to a .050 Diameter hole
: and it made no difference from
: unrestricted.
: It's looking like a tear down is in
: the works but I hate to do the same
: thing over and over again. The bottom
: line is why does this thing keep
: burning up oil control rings???
: P.J.
