Some of you may recall that I had a thread going trying to figure out why my 1600CL engine would blow oil mist out the intake air cover on a high speed long endurance run. I would get home and find a black oily soot on the tool box side cover and oil droplets on the front of the left saddlebag. We discussed every possible cause we could think of and I finally came to the conclusion it was normal ring wear since I had a 15 PSI pressure difference in the front cylinder when doing a wet/dry compression test (12 PSI back).
Well, it stopped doing it. I have been on several high speed runs lately and not a drop of oil on the bags or sooty deposits on the side cover. Before anyone asks...no, the crankcase oil level was not overfilled and yes, there is oil in the engine.
I don't know, maybe it's a Christmas miracle. Merry xmas to me!
