We're breaking in the new 1725 (new rings) and chasing various oil leaks. We are running the early style valve cover and open crankcase ventilation from the series II. When I remove the vented oil filler cap and place my hand over the fill tube, I can feel a very noticeable pulsation of air moving through the tube. I'm not seeing significant amounts of smoke or mist coming out. I think I remember the old 1592 being similar. How much is normal?
As an aside, don't try to use the late style side cover with the short upturned pipe and install a crankcase breather on the pipe. The breather will become saturated with oil and will make a big mess! Lesson learned.
