Evening all, just a quick question about whether I should be worried or not!

Nearly got the car all back together after rebuilding it (about a days work hopefully, am quite excited) and ran it up to temperature for the first time in a month or so and noticed that when it was up to temperature there was some smoke or vapour (not sure which) coming from the breather filter. Do I need to be prepared for impending doom or is this likely because it hasn't been run or been given a good hoon for a while (4 months since rebuild).

It's a 954 blade and it had the oil changed about a month ago when the engine was last run.

Thanks in advance.

Not be worried, it's 10 years old now.

If you had the bonnet on driving down the road would you notice anything? Put the breather into a catch tank and monitor, if it starts to blow out a lot of oil then become concerned, although given the price of a straight replacement engine it's not really worth stripping down anyway.

Probably wouldn't notice anything in driving and hadn't noticed anything before the car was stripped down, so hoping its nothing significant.
