    Has the engine been reconditioned? it may not have bedded in yet. Also, when an engine is not under load, they can blowby more than when under load because the pressures that force the rings against the cyl wall aren't there.

    Just my 2c


    Cheers,

    See above suggestions, but the engine breathers on these engines will always emit more fumes than modern drivers are used to. Make sure that the wire wool is present in the breather - this will trap some of the oil droplets, so more may get out if it is missing.
