Oil coming out of plenum nut .
Discussion
Pipes are all clear ,I can easly blow down the pipe through the flame trap .. Chilliman had the same problem .I need a solution !
Can the breathing effect combustion and can it damage valves and gue the heads up ..I always thought a breathing engine was a worn engine .

Burning excessive oil affects the octain of the fuel mixture and does clog stuff up, check to see what vacuum your pulling, an easy solution would be a catch tank, basically all your doing is sucking oil vapour into the engine so you need to put something between the rocker cover and the plenum to slow the oil and let it drop out, which is what the flame trap wire mesh is supposed to do but does a poor job IMHOCan the breathing effect combustion and can it damage valves and gue the heads up ..I always thought a breathing engine was a worn engine .
How about one of these..?

That's one very gucci catch tank.
Alternatively a bit of 1/2 " beer hose and a Red Bull can might do

It'll effect combustion if the oil is drawn into the chambers from the plenum; for one thing it will lower the knock threshold of the charge and it will also increase deposits - one of the reasons many do away with the PCV system and vent breathers to catch tanks, and also a good justification for keeping trumpets. All engines breathe but crankcase pressure can be a sign of wear-resultant blow-by (not always). First thing I'd do is make sure the mushroom vent on the rear of the nearside rocker is not blocked (that's important for equalising pressures and oil can be drawn up on over-run too)

Do you know the diameter of the breather pipe ,hard the find one that wide .
How do i check vacume ?

t off eBay they are just empty vessels,( and you dont want one with a filter to atmosphere as you will loose you vacuum) it needs baffles see my other post on hoof as thread 16mm ID just buy black vacuum hose

Did you say your air filter was being sucked in side out
If your not getting the air flow throw the filter can it be pulling out of the breather and dumping the oil vapour in your plenum
Thinking out loud
Doubt it, as the two pipes are linked before and after the butterfly, and its at idle where you get most vacuum, a blocked filter you would be down on powerIf your not getting the air flow throw the filter can it be pulling out of the breather and dumping the oil vapour in your plenum
