Paul,

Hmmmm... Could very well be I guess. What is the cause there tho? Oil
getting into the cylinders? The plugs are all lovely and tan, with a black
base, so I figure it's not that.

What else can I look for regarding that breather pipe? I suspect this is the
problem... The side cover was fulled cleaned out before I reassembled the
head. I put in new lightweight tappets and cromoly pushrods along with the
roller rockers..

Cheers,
Neil.
