I have oil coming out of the breather holes on the rocker cover on the C11. Apparently on the underside of the cover there should be a cone type thingy that prevents the oil reaching the holes. If anyone has a couple please let me know so we can arrange payment etc.

Aaron I realise you asked Bob the question so excuse me chunking in well worth the effort of the conversion of oil feed to the rockers on a C11. Very easy to do as well, I did it for a friend useing an oil pipe  from an A10 cut down to one outlet, the hollow bolt I drilled out from a spare then sealing the end. Cuts down on rocker wear & minimises  tappet adjusting . Best of Luck Woodie

Hi Aaron - No I haven't touched a thing. I just noticed oil running down the head after a bit of a run and pinpointed it coming from the holes at the top of the rocker cover. While at BJ's yesterday he showed me what's inside the cover underneath the holes. It looks like a cone and it prevents the oil coming out of the breather holes. Don't ask me how the oil gets into the rocker cover cause I ain't got a clue.

thanks for bit of info, i instantly thought this would be a good system when i heard it on another post... would it be too much to ask for a photo?
and it is the 'feed' pipe correct? (so i would split off from the normal singular feed line?)
cheers guys

I think I might be missing the point with this post. What breather holes in the rocker box? I was totally unaware there were any. Do any other members know of these breather holes?
Draganfly sell all the bits needed for the rocker oil feed conversion. I done this myself 15 odd years ago and never needed to adjust my rocker clearances since. Must be a worthwhile conversion.

This is where the holes are Pete, photo attached. Don't know why there is always a reference to oil feed included in this post. I ain't got a clue how the oil is fed to the rockers but I can see where its coming out.
