Okay,
I have finally figured out that I am probably pushing oil out of my breather b/c I didn't install the baffles in the tall valve covers.
The reason is this, clearance for the 1.7 rockers that I am running. Anybody put these in and NOT had a clearance problem?
Can I modify them in any way so I can stop losing 1/2 quart oil every couple of weeks through the breather?
