This afternoon I topped up my oil tank with about 1/2 a quart of oil (500 -600ml)
The oil level appeared to be OK Just under the full hot mark & the engine was warm. That all done I went or a ride, after about 15 minutes of crusing around some back streets (oil temp up to around 200) thinking this new cam seems pretty good & could feel a difference in the mid range, I came to a main road so I gave it a bit of WOT. At a bit over 5000rpm the grin came off my face! The under side of my right leg all of a sudden got hot. I tried to look down there was oil spewing out every where & smoke like you would not believe (Oil on the exhaust)
My bloody oil cap dipstick blew out and it seemed like a gallon of oil followed it. I pulled up as quick as I could & shut off the motor. There was a trail of oil for about 100 feet behind me & a big puddle where I stopped. I walked up the street about 50 yards to find a young kid had found my dipstick. I got back to my bike & dipped it, it was still 1/4 inch above the mininium mark. (I would think that would be well under a quart to fill up to the full mark) Well I rode home slowly as the side of my rear tyre & brakes were covered in oil, infact there was oil dripping off every where.
NOW the problem is WTF happened? did I not fit the dipstick correctly(I find that hard to believe, but possible) For some reason had I over filled it? or some thing I did yesterday when installing the cams & oil pump has caused excess pressure in my oil tank. Because there is more pressure on the output side does that create more pressure on the return side in my tank. The Myst Free breather is supposed to be more efficent than the stock breather. Does any one have any ideas? Please help
PS: Not to mention my wife is trying to salvage a good pair of jeans!
