I am 99% sure the baffle plate is installed correctly.

I just checked the 1/2 valves and both had slightly tight exhaust 
valves.  After setting them I redid the compression check.

#2 went up to 120 psi......very consistent with 3/4.

#1 was still at 90-95 psi.  8^(

I just dumped the oil and will be yanking the engine tonight to check 
out #1 properly. I will likely go to the larger later breather while I 
am at it and try to take care of a few other little things.  Likely 
would have pulled the engine to change the breather anyway since the 
bolts that hold it on or inside the mag fan housing.

Here we go again.....<G>
