So Harry, what you MEANT to say, is that you deliberately blocked the vent tube by inserting a blank in place of the gasket, to prove that a blocked oil/air separator would in fact cause oil to vent out of the cap......

I got distracted and did not cut the opening in the gasket.So the the engine decided to breathe out the oil cap. I'm trying to decide if it was old age or stupidity that caused the problem Thanks everybody for your advise Mr. egg on my face -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected] -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
