I recently purchased a'63 Super 88 with what I believe is the 394 hi-comp. The motor was supposedly "rebuilt" recently. It runs beautifully but I am getting oil blowing from the breather cap at the front of the engine. There seems to be a fair amount of blowby coming from the breather but I am not sure what's normal. Also, I have looked at pics of other 394's of this vintage and noticed tht the breather tube comes up at an angle-mine comes straight up(90 degrees). I dont really want to tear into the engine yet.. Is there something I am missing ??
