We ran V.I.R. a few weeks ago and noticed that we had about 3 or 4 ounces
of oily stuff in our crankcase overflow bottle after each 8 - 10 lap races
. I was wondering if some of this is normal , after hard running . I plan
on doing a leakdown and a compression check this weekend . That should
tell something , our motor only has a couple races and i do not want to
play the old clothes pin & copper wire trick again if not really necessary
. have you tried the leakdown and compression check on your car ? how
much fluid are you getting in the overflow bottle ? I also was told a story
by a fellow triumph tr racer that he was getting overflow in his vent
bottle , rebuilt his motor , went out to the next race and got the same
amount again , so he just forgot about it .
