Just read Kieth 1069's reply in breather post, and now thinking too much!
I also relocated the breather as per 850 years ago, running out to atmosphere at rear but kept old breather location running to oil tank. Last time I really rode it hard up in the mountains my oil pressure gauge went to zero and there was no oil in the tank. Put a couple of quarts in and went home. I thought to much pressure was getting past the rings, honed and new rings. Did not ride it for years after that, as I was busy with bevel drive Duck. Now have both breathers joined together into alloy oil tank w/valve. Am I facing disaster as I prepare to blast to Birmingham next week? I never had any oil problems with my original Combat 35 years ago. It seems that I should now strip it out and do the crankcase mod, is that correct?
