boy oh boy...work sucks...but you guys know that : /
It's taken me this long to finally get another chance to work on the suggestions...what's blocking it?
I forgot my manual over at my buddies house the day I rode home...so I've been at the mercy of the internet. Finally decided to pull up a exploded view of the engine...started from the top down...and bam! I put the frick'n breather assemble in upside down! The umbrella valve goes up and the filter element goes down...I put the valve down and the element up (in my mind...looked like the element would fit neatly in that breather cover facing up...it did!)
In my big frick'n rush to hurry up and get it done...reading from the manual...bla bla bla...whats the tq? next...I want this in the bike...lets go!
So...if you have oil coming out of the middle of your pushrod...and you changed your breather assembly...double check you installation. None of the other threads I've read say what they did when they had this issue to resolve it.
Thanks you guys for steering me in the right path...I was about to rip the exhaust off and double check my timing marks in the cam chest...whew!
Got 25 more miles on the initial break-in to go...450 after that...then hopefully she'll be sorted out.
Thanks again!

Lol well at least you got it all sorted out without too much tearing down. Good luck with the bike.
