running just the odd puff of blue smoke if reved hard at standstill and when the wife
followed me it did smoke a little but nothing major
Anyway clean out the pipework fitted a new AOS done 300 miles just checked
the pipe and there oil in there again.
Have seen posts on here where a guy had 3 duff one's straight from the box think
it was one of jake's post.
So has anyone deleted theres, if so has there been any performance loss
with the crankcase not being under vacuum

The low tension piston rings rely on the crankcase vacuum to help seal the rings, eliminating that vacuum increases blow-by. If the AOS is disconnected from the vacuum source no oil will come out the top of the AOS.
