While tracking down some answers for my James-Bond-like smokescreen that
is now emitting from my poor little overdriven/overfixed yellow beasty,
I hunted through the list archives (marvellous past-time, but it could
end up dominating your life if you are not careful).
I actually believe that I am looking at a crankcase ventilation
problem... I will get back to the list when I experiment with this...
but the following post from way back really intrigued me. Did anyone
actually try this on their LBC (the thought scares me) and if so, is
their engine still running?
