• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Recently, I have been getting an unusual amount of oil out my breather. I took off the breather and washed it out in solvent real good. I can get a good suction seal with it inverted, but the problem remains. I normally do normal gentleman type flying +4 to -2 G with no change from before I noticed the problem. My oil pressure stays good when going + to - and back, so I didn't think that it would be those balls/valve seat. Could it be, or any ideas?
Thanks,
oilly tailwheel...larry
