This is a new engine build. P-pump 24 valve, twins, etc. When I fired up the engine to break in the cam oil was running out of the crank vent. Steady stream. Almost 6 quarts in 10 minutes at 1750-2250 rpm. This is a tappet cover very similar to what Crazy Carl sells. Both hoses use #8 JIC fittings at the cover and have 1/2" hoses on them. When I put the hoses on I used 90 degree fittings to arc the hoses up before coming down. I searched on here and didn't find a lot as far as fixing this issue. Has anyone had this issue with this style of tappet cover?
On another note, the engine was built with gapless rings, but I still seem to have a fair amount of blow bye. The short block as assembled by a reputable machine shop in my area. Those of you that have used the gapless rings, do you still see visible blow bye from the draft tubes?
