Oil Leaks old triumph motors used to leak out the crankcase breathers when the return on the bottom of the piston oil pump would get clogged by particles of break in metal on new engines, and had to be removed and cleaned of all particles and replaced back on the machine. My question is what kind of oil pump do the new triumphs use in their engines. would love to see a picture or photo of the entire new engines make up! like the old triumph used push rods to the rocker arms. now they must have a timming chain? would love to see what exactly the inside make up of the new triumph engines look like! thanks BrotherShawn. at [email protected]

SOURCE: need help with 66 triumph 650 bonneville

After these bikes have set for a period of time the oil in the oil tank drains to the lower end of the engine and when started after sitting the oil is usually forced out of the vents for crankcase; which on many of these bikes is through the primary and possibly to the chain oiler etc. Usually after running for a few minutes the oil is back in the oil tank and over supply to the oiler stops! Could possibly soak the clutch plates if it filled primary case also. Be sure and check oil level in tank?! If you added oil before starting it will now be overfilled after starting. This is common problem and will mend it self usually. Does make a mess in the garage toooooooo! Jesse "Leroy" Graves

2002 Buell Blast is spitting oil from the crankcase breather hose. What do I do?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Buell Blast.

On a bike with no service history it would be standard practice to change oil and filter.

It seems to be a known issue.

Triumph T120 Blowing oil from sump breather why

It could be worn rings ( especially if it is an older t120 60's-70's ) that is allowing compression into the crankcase and blowing the oil out the breather.

Homelite ut104552 pumps bar oil in piston

The saw you have must have a combined crankcase/oil tank, they will be seperated via a gasket, if this gasket is leaking then oil from the oil tank can and will enter the bottom of the crankcase.

After warming up my suzuki 750 gsx leaks a oil/fuel mixture out of the air cleaner

You need to service the crankcase breather system. Basically, this means taking apart and cleaning all the goo out of the area where the crankcase breather tube goes into the air box. Also check the air filter for oil saturation and replace if needed - and clean any accumulated oil from the inside of the air filter box.

Oil consumption

Bad valve seals
Worn valve guides
Pressurized crankcase (oil pan) due to a clogged PCV valve or breather system
Blow-by from worn piston rings

Bad valve seals: The valves are located in thecylinder head above the combustion chamber. Oil is pumped at 50 to 80 psi of pressure into the top of the head, lubricating the valve-train; the valveshave seals on them to stop the flow of oil down into the engine when the valve is open. If the seals fail, oil is allowed to flow down into the combustion chamber and is burned.
Worn valve guides: The valves are guided by a small cylindrical chamber called a valve guide. These guides wear over time causing eccentricity (or slop); the excess gap allows the flow of oil down the valve stem into the combustion chamber to be burned. What about the valve seal you say? Well, the gap is too great for the seal to stop the oil flow, so down it goes to be burned.
Pressurized crankcase due to clogged PCV or breather system:The car's engine is a giant pump, consequently it must breathe. The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system does just this, allows the engine to exhaust the excess pressure build-up (which is a natural phenomenon of the internal combustion engine). Carbon build-up is a by-product of an engine and can build up in the PCV system, clogging the breathing passages. This in turn pressurizes the oil pan and pushes oil up into the fuel delivery system, where it is fed into the engine and burned.
Blow-by from worn piston rings: The pistons in your car's engine have seals around them in the form of rings. These rings do two things:
  1. Seal the combustion chamber so the precious power developed from the firing of the cylinder is not lost.
  2. Provide vital lubrication to the cylinder walls.
When the rings wear out, the pressure from combustion reverses down into the oil pan, pressurizing it and forcing oil into the valve covers, through the breather system, back into the fuel delivery system, and into the engine to be burned.
You may ask yourself, "What can I do to stop this from happening?" Keep your oil and filter changed every 3,000 miles and keep the air filters changed every 12,000 miles!! This will keep sludge and carbon buildup down to a minimum. Understand that you can't stop mechanical wear, but you can slow it down!
