engine is back together now,no oil coming out of oil breather now

after some investicating i have 1962 engine ,1952 sump and head i get high oil pressure on start up for a while then drops down really low. changed big end shells ,cleaned oil pump but no relief valve is that the promblem cheers paul

When i got my major, it had water in the oil, which turned out to be pitted liners, which i believe is caused by using the wrong anti-freeze. When i took the liners out, all the way around them there were tiny holes, which allowed water into the cylinders. As for blowing oil out the breather, like ...

going to check block today,liners take out pistons as well.only other thing that worries me is the engine being 1962 and the head being with rocker cover with 2 bolt holes ,is that the earler model and does it make any difference cheers for all help so far Paul
