1971 Engine blowing oil into breather... causing car to miss and backfire after about 20 minutes. Anyone know if there is a temp fix for this until I am able to buy a new engine?? PLEASE HELP

let me see if i understand this correctly. when you say "breather" are you talking about the air cleaner? if so, i take it you have the stock hose running from the generator stand (oil fill stand) up to the air cleaner. have you had any work done on this motor recently? there is a deflector plate that sits under the generator stand with fins in it. these fins are supposed to keep oil from being slung up the hose and into the air cleaner. this may be installed backward or even NOT installed!! this may help. another thing you could try is to buy an oil breather kit. this is a small box that usually mounts to the firewall. it has hoses that run from box to each valve cover, and to the stock oil fill tower. this keeps any oily mess from going to the carb since it's not connected to it anymore. you can run this box without connecting it to the valve covers.

My 1971 bug was doing this and I found low compression on 2 of the cylinders. The cause of the low compression was broken rings and ring lands. This caused excessive crankcase pressure and oil being blown up into the oil filler neck and out the breather hose. After the cylinder repairs it was OK.

My 73 has 2010cc has breather hose from fuel pump cover into a CB vertical box,runs good at 3000 rpm no oil problem,but take it to 3500 and above makes a big ole mess of oil ,thinking I need to do compression test,see if there's excessive blow by.
