the supplied filler cap.  Is this adequate to  properly function the way the
stock filler cap  did?



This is obviously a newly rebuilt motor.  What you can expect  (from my
experience) is that the blow by in the early stages of running will  cause oil
drips from the vent tube because (IMO) the pin hole does not vent as  well as
a
breather cap.  It goes away as the rings seat.  Do not be  overly concerned if
you see a medium puddle of oil under the vent tube in the  early stages.  I
was, and I am no longer, as it is gone.
