Compression test results seem maybe a little low, but it would depend on CR, accuracy of gauge and how test was conducted. But even though they are even over all cylinders, still doesnt mean everything is good.
And lots of cheap breather tank things would often have a simple baffle plate tacked inside, it's probably just broken off. As long as the engine can still breathe, worst case it would see more oil able to pass through the can.
recently had a bottom end rebuild/refresh (oil pump, big ends, small ends, and new seals. Piston rings were fine.) That's why i'm a bit confused and makes me think (hope) its the breather setup. My breather connects back into the inlet manifold, is this the best way?
