That was the only way we could stop oil puking out of the motor.....BTW....we run the motor hard 2800-7000


PS....unless a engine and it seals are built to run a vacuum ....might not be a good idea....seals need to be reversed....
Morris, I tend to agree with you, as some racer friends have had similar problems with oil puking, and reversing the seals makes sense as well, dont want to go down that path really. I gather you solved the puking when vented the covers?
