[QUOTE="iknowdavehouse, post: 604191, member: 24123"] Hi, I recently had a generator to alternator conversion which involved replacing the stand, oil filler, fuel pump and breather pipe from the filler to the carb. At the same time the main engine seal was replaced along with carb and fuel pump gaskets and pedestal. I have a 1600 engine with a Weber 32/36 progressive carb. Since the installation I am getting oil spurt out of the top of the dipstick at high revs. I ran the engine without the dipstick to check and it's definitely coming from there. The engine is a lot more "sealed" than it was, and my previous breather pipe basically did nothing because it wasn't air tight. Any suggestions about what I should try? [/QUOTE]
