Title: Oil in my airbox again.... (, but solved)
Post by: stopintime on April 19, 2015, 11:00:05 AM
 Two years ago I found a quart, or so, of oil in my airbox - some of which found it's way into the intakes. Holy SMOKE.

It turned out to be a nice hole in one piston (long story about using race pistons for 50,000km)


You can imagine me being a little sensitive about oil in my airbox  :-\

Found a couple of table spoons when I opened the box before season start and feared pistons/rings/cylinders...

After this season's first long, engine warm, ride it has stopped.

Since the finishing rides last year and first couple of weeks this year were all cold and short rides, I wonder if it was the breater valve and/or breather tank that held some water/moisture mixed oil and couldn't return it to the cases after a ride.

Still not 100% convinced, but closer to a deep breath  :)

Still ok, thanks  :-X

Will do a compression test to make sure that milky oil was all it was.
