Bill; the latest issue, July '99, of "Light Plane Maintenance" has a four
page article on Breather Tubes. You need to read that article before you do
anything drastic, such as a top overhaul!

One thought -

I hope you're not filling it right up !!! Lycomings will blow the
first quart out almost immediately !!! If it holds 8 quarts, never put
in more than 7 - it'll be gone before you go once around the patch !!!

......bobp

A compression test will tell you if the rings are worn, or if it's
valves ....
