     To my knowledge nobody has dealt with that. Blow by does not seem to be a large
     if any  problem in AC use. Not like there is windage on the crankshaft.

If I recall correctly, Tracy Crook said something about some oil blowing out of his engine at around 7,000 RPM, and that he was working on correcting it. It seems that he was having the problem
since he started using the 2.85/1 redrive. If he is having a problem, it would be good to know how to alleviate it.

Bruce Turrentine cut away part of the breather system on the RX8 engine Tracy
is using. Here is an illustration of what was cut away.
