I've had an on going battle trying to stop oil spraying from the backside of the crank pulley. I have battled this for long enough and I'm about to disassemble my engine and replace the case. The engine has less than 8,000 miles on it. I have installed new rings, ensured the pulley has the correct reverse threads and the breather system should be able to handle it's purpose.
The breather system is -8 rigid line and plumbed to a Berg breather. The lines run from the 1/2 valve cover to one port on the Berg breather and the other port on the breather gets crank pressure from the fuel pump block off. one port (the very top one) is vented to atmosphere.
The cylinders have been honed and new rings installed and properly seated. TWICE...
I was running the heavy Berg pulley and I recently replaced it with a lighter aluminum pulley with a steel center hub.
I'm at a loss as to why I'm still having this problem and am frustrated as I HATE oil leaks. Can anyone provide any insight to a solution to this problem?
The engine is a 2276: 9.6:1 CR, Web 86b, deep sump and IDAs.
