agreed, figured he would find the assembly error easily and than "on to the next" aspect of making a HD live to the 100k mile mark.

Just as a side note.....I knew a fella a few years back that had a "built" 02 FLH dresser. I saw him do a wheelie on it one day up to about a 45 degree angle. His dipstick shot out and landed about 40 feet away. I never saw a dresser wheelie like that until then.

Now you're going to need something along these lines;

There are plenty of different types of crankcase breather solutions, this is only an example.

Thanks for the valuable input guys! In our quest to go fast, we sometimes learn valuable lessons. I couldn't wait to get home and clean her back up, oil from front to back! My biggest fear now is, has there been any damage to engine? I'm sure that couldn't be very health with all that back pressure. In addition to that, how can I ride her until I get that cross-over filter? If I drill a tiny hole in some plugs as mentioned, would that be fine? I did flush out my brake fluid, if that tells you how **** I am with this machine.
