Seems like we are asking more and more from these engines and are using
lubricants that find their way out of every seam and orifice.
My choice is the best possible sealing and a vacuum system.
This includes the viton seal and a reliable vacuum system.
Once in awhile I have to explain the vacuum system to a curious tech
inspector, but the choice between oil on the track and keeping it in the
engine is an easy one.
Technical articles indicate that a vacuum system settles down the turbulence
in the engine and improves ring sealing. There doesnt seem to be any
downside.
Kas addresses wet sleeve engine oil leaks in his newest book, KAS KASTNERS
TRIUMPHs, in a very comprehensive chapter. Right now he offering free
shipping.

Subject: Re: [Fot] VACUUM SYSTEM
After getting sick over these catch tank solution and this oil steam which
dirt's the engine bay I moved on the vacuum system last year.
Good:
- It does work
- clean engine bay
- less leaks
Bad:
- vent valve failed twice
I'm working on a serviceable valve which I can repair in a quick manner.
Don't be afraid of a sellable solution....I just show how and you can make
your valve yourself :-)
Cheers
Chris

Hi,
Can't get your second photo reference to come up on a search and can't tell
enough by the other. Can you explain a little on what goes from where to
where.
I am trying to decide on some engine venting (TR6) right now.
Thanks, Jim
