Excessive 'Mayonnaise' in oil

Note it or look it up... Wide worn ring gaps are not the main source of ring blow by - the worn off sharp edges are but more difficult to monitor but by engine blow by. The 'slots' are not for oil control as much as heat path blockers for the skirts swellling more than the cooler lower bore do. Its not a bad id to renew rings and if possible leave bores alone everytime they are expoxed.

Not saying it is, was inferring massive wear that had occurred on these rings but not so much compression ones, odd it seemed to me and twice wear on one bore to the other......vee vill neffer no :?
 
In case others confused as you are, the chemistry point is it only takes a very little emulsifying agent, egg or soy lecithin for food grade or just moisture in engine to make mayonnasie of a lot of oil. So moral of the tale is not all the mayonnasie you see is eatable.

I don't think Needing was confused, we all know that surfactants are minor components of systems as they are surface active. He was just reading the art correctly and assuring that his mayo was veggie oil-based. However a much larger concern is the following. If Needing offers you his legal "vegetable oil-based" freshly concocted batch of castor oil-based Christmas mayonnaise, you best decline, as it would go slightly beyond the concept of edible vs non-edible - if made from Castrol it could be outright poisonous!
 
Mayonnaise is an accepted chemical term of yummy or yuky water loving-attracting and water hating-repelling emulsion phase that's stiff enough not to flow away like a free liquid, regardless of where its made or shows up or if very eatable or not. Eatable is another term with varying application, as I've been forced to take or suggested others take some caster oil to ease their moving frictions and all lived fine w/o any mayonnaise in the end.

I and many others have used engine heat to dry out fresh herb or cook meals on the fly...

Update on the sludge maker. New std rings in slightly worn bores. No honing, just a deglaze of sorts. 350 miles now and 1 teaspoon of water only in the catch bottle. Yes there is some 'mayo' in the breather and tank but not like before and this is in low temps, around 40-50F. Compression is enough to hold my 200lb weight and its hard to kick without a real good bootful. She's running really well despite me losing a carb needle on first run after refitting chokes (still ran up to 70mph on tiniest of throttle).
 
Has any one considered that the one way breather valve may be the source / sauce of the mayonnaise?
Fitting a one way valve to the crankcase you have cre.ated a vacuum pump with a capacity of 750cc per revolution and the vacuum wil cause any water vapor to condense forming the mayo , try fitting a restricted inlet breather in the inlet rocker so you dont maintain the high vac in the crankcase. or you could just try running the bike without the check valve to see if that makes any difference .

Vacuum lowers the boiling point of water and causes it to evaporate -not condense.

Increased pressure or cold surfaces cause condensation. Jim

Hi Freddy.
I have airflow through the engine and zero aerated oil in the oil tank.
Ta.

PS: Air is not pumped into my oil tank to create FOAM.

Yes I stand corrected, evaporation in the crankcase and condensation/mayo in the breather tube.
