Oil Blow By
1990 FLHTP S&S Super E.
Recently changed out the ignition cup and rotor plate.Now Im getting alot of blow by from the breather.My timing is tdc but while I had the timing cover off the timing cam shaft popped out.I was able to put it back where i believe it was.If the breather gear is slightly off will this cause excessive blow by? I thought by adjusting the timing it would correct any slight deviations from the gear
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Yes I had the cone off to check the tappets.The gear popped out and rather than remove the rockers I was able to get it all back by just removing one set of tappets.She starts right up and idles fine but there is a lot of blow by.If I put the timing gear back 1 or 2 teeth off I thought I would be able to compensate by adjusting the timing. I went to check the timing with the induction timing light but the clear timing plug I bought wont thread in correctly.This is where I am at now.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing where they should go never works.
