Yes! The leaks are fixed! Maybe no increase in power but the machine won't get heavier from the dirt sticking to the oil and that will make it go faster ;)

As for the claim of 4% more power?

http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/crankvent_test.htm

Last paragraph on the page, after all the charts showing the various dyno runs...

Bottom line here, folks, I tried my damndest, I can't find power with these devices. I know that pisses some people off. All I have to say is "show me". Don't just show me a result, either, show me procedures and ranges of results.

As long as it cured your oil leaks, who cares about anything else?

Any chance you've got a link to the website? (if they have one)

My 91 80" evo has had some leaky gasket problems since I bought it. It leaked around the cylinder base gaskets, lifter blocks, and head gasket when I bought it and it only had 12,000 miles. I changed these and the leaks were stopped for a while 'till this year and all those places started leaking again.

I posted this problem on another Harley site and got a message refering me to Krank Vents, it's like a pvc valve that maintains a vacuum in the crankcase. I looked it up and they also claim 4% increase in power too so I bought one. Believe it or not the damn thing stopped all the leaks! I'm not sure about the power, I can say it has not cost me any power. It's worth the dough if you ask me!
