geyser
I just went for a shakedown ride. About 5 miles into "shaking down" I found oil gushing out of the rearmost pushrod tube midway top to bottom. They haven't been touchedin a good while.Haven't touched the top end in a good while. The oil pressure gauge was indicating around 50 psi before the geyser. Any ideas? Thanks

RE: geyser
on my 68 I still have a breather or blow by on the inside of the pump out of the case I have going back to a remote breather filter.\
I don't know how having vent plumed wrong could cause that much oil PSI?

RE: geyser
Xoff: As you probably know, Harleys have never been known for high oil pressure, even so low it scares us...like even 5 psi...yours is over the top for some reason. Volume, not pressure is what a shovel lives on. IMO you know you made a change... so IMO therein lies the problem. I shut off primary oil also...that is a great move... look at it ago
