- If your TR4 lacks the crankcase breather tube that may be at the root of your problem. That tube was deleted (and the hole plugged) at some point in TR4 production. About the same time the oil fill c

- None of the issues you mentioned are present. The lack of baffle on the alloy covers is a well documented problem and one that I am experiencing. I'm just looking for the easiest and cleanest method
