Interesting replies. The compression is low, actually 115lbs. per side. I just don't know if the low compression can cause oil to blow out the crankcase breather. Is there a definitive answer? Steve

Low compresion per se is not the cause, for instance I have a bike on 5:1; its the cause of the low compression you need to look for.

Head and barrel off.
