February 7, 200521 yr Author After running about 2 miles, there were about 3, 4 tablespoons in the breather.
February 8, 200521 yr Author Probably gonna do the compression test tonight ... what kind of readings are normal on the ea71's ?
February 9, 200521 yr I had this prob, and "fixed" it by installing a filter such as is found on a pneumatic compressor. the filter was inside a can thing with an inlet and outlet hose fitting. I simply installed this into the line, and emptied the oil in the bottom into the engine every now and again... A little crude, but it worked..
February 9, 200521 yr Author What line did you install this on? Did you eventually replace the rings ?
February 9, 200521 yr THe line going from the rocker cover to the filter box - this was an new zealand ea81 - very simple no emmisions, so yours may be different. I havn't replaced the rings, the enigne is sitting in teh garage as the car is off hte road at the moment. I think a valve is at fault in my case (not seating properly), as the enigne had new rings only about 80,000 kms ago.
February 9, 200521 yr Author We are going to do the compression test tomorrow ... so I'll let you guys know what they are. If it's not too bad, tags and insurance will go on it this week or next.
