Took my car to the track this weekend after a two year break. Seems to have leakage out of the valve cover breathers and I don't remember so much of that before. What is considered excessive? Thanks!


Better get inside Ma. Looks like a storm's comin'.

Do a leak down and see what your percentage is

Depending on rings. I have total seals, 3% leakage. I don't like anything over 10% with standard rings, but that's me.
