Where is oil spurting out?, unusual to have that much at the top unless as Pete said the breather is completely blocked. Does it smoke from the exhaust?.
Might be worth a compression test.

Where the dipstick is it starts to bubble over the if you remove the dipstick it srays out. The exhaust is smokey until it warms like usual. But yeah im jsut going to do a compression test and hope for the best. thanks alot š

inside the rocker cover there is normally a gauze filter surrounding the breather outletĀ these get blocked solid and need its suport cadge pirying open remove and wash the filter
on the worst option the engine is in need of new rings etcĀ Ā
any doubts about the smiths valve i would delete it and pipe the breather openĀ to atmosphere as a test
Pete
editĀ might be worth calibrating the dip stickĀ not unusual that the marks give an overfillĀ

Im going to go in for a compression test then hope for the best and will take this into consideration if all comes back good cheers mate š

But im pretty sure its a build up of pressure because whilst running and i take off the oil cap there is a release of pressure

Does it have an external oil feed on the back of the head?, this can cause too much oil in the top of the engine.
Unnecessary on most engines.
Steve

I see you have HS6 carbs on a Long tract manifold,is this a 2.5 engine?,Ā if not I would remove the little filter and put it back to standard.
Steve
Its a 2.0 litre and i have removed the filter and replaced the breather but oil is spurting outĀ

the manifold has vacuumĀ no pressureĀ Ā if oil spouts out the dipstick then the breathing is blockedĀ
then the small breather filter on the rocker cover output is useless as thats all you seem to have as a breatherĀ ????
in the photo your smiths valve is not connected to the rocker breather at all just screwed into the manifold with open pipesĀ
its not doing anything to aid breathingĀ
Pete
Yes i have changed this by replacing the top of the breather back on but oil is still spurting out.Ā

as the valve appears to be disconnected from any breather hoses you could remove it and blank the port in the manifoldĀ
Pete
Hi have tried this but pressure was building up in the manifold and causing the oil to come out of the oil dipper

Hi ive got a Vitesse built by my grandad so it has some parts swapped between different triumphs but whilst driving it the breather valve lid fell off and I've been having problems with it ever since as the first time i put to the bottom of a can on top but it kept the diaphragm from moving so im double checking that i need to make it fit over the whole thing or the inner rim. Also is a whole in it necessary. In the photo i tried recommended by someone but let in too much air.Ā

Hi everyone thanks alot for all your help but im pretty sure i have found my problem the piston connected to the diaphram isnt pushing onto the little plate releasing the pressure so im am going to buy and new smiths valve thanks again š
