I now have 25hrs of run time on the A4 I overhauled last summer. Things have mostly been great, starts right up, runs smoothly and quietly, and cruises 5.5 knots @ 1500rpm.
The one problem has been an excess of blow-by gasses coming from the oil fill. To combat this, I installed a PCV system, which reduced but did not eliminate the problem. The motor has new rings and valve guides, installed during the overhaul, so I don't understand why I have this problem.
I guess I did something wrong or missed something important during the overhaul, but I can't think what it could be. Help me Afourians!
