Excessive Oil
- Thread starter RX-1MT
- Start date
Hope this helps you RX-1MT! Had the same situation. Switched out the old cork and put a thicker and longer one in. Seems to be helping, but still have excess bleeding out occasionally. Really only gets bad when riding long periods of time without letting her cool down, especially in the deep pow. Rerouted line, now it dumps off right behind the right cowling up near the hook(Apex model). Seems if you can keep that line upright and don't tip your sled over too many times a guy won't lose as much oil out of the crank. Hope this helps you out!
I should have explained that a little better! My kit came complete with an extended rubber line with a clear foam encased in plastic that was clamped securely to the rubber line. This way the oil can still breathe out a bit but the foam(my bad description of saying cork) will stop the oil from running out heavily if the sled rolls too many times. Well, we rerouted the line to the right side and dumped it out of an extra vent we installed. Not sure where my mechy found the thicker foam plug. It's a little wider and thicker in length than the original. Ran into a guy this year running a gt28, carrillo rods, JE pistons, etc. and he couldn't figure out where the oil was coming from. We rerouted the line and kept it sitting upright instead of laying in the bellypan of the sled and no more mess. Anyways, don't want to lead you astray Mick. This is what worked for me. You might want to call Boondocker just to make sure. Wish you the best of luck with it

You have to add a vent in your valve cover cap and it will never blow out again, these motors need the extra vent, they have crankcase vents and no valve cover vents, add a vent there and it will be good to go, you might lose some oil on a roll over though, but you could probally use a axle breather and it would work for roll overs
