If you remove the oil cap while your 924 is running, how much blow can you feel through the hole?

If anything there should be a mild vacuum here.
If it is blowing you probably have a blocked breather or worse

There is some blow...not that much...but its there.
If you put the cap close to the hole it will suck it closed...so with the cap on there will be vacum.

Block breather was cleaned year ago and it is not blowing oil inside the air filter box. Similar to morghens experience, there is a slight blow when the oil filler cap is removed. Otherwise the engine is running very strong.

For you newbies out there, do NOT let go of the paper. Do NOT let it actually get sucked into the hole. That would be bad.

Just sayin.
