Chris, all, One trick to keep the oil vent line from freezing shut is to cut a slit in the line about 1/3rd of the line diameter near where the line attaches to the engine. In normal usage the slit won't leak as the structure of the line keeps it closed. Should condensation freeze the line shut the slit is near enough to the warmth of the engine there will be no ice there and the excess pressure will be vented. Picked this one up from the LongEZ drivers.

Hello all....
Well,I got the head back on yesterday and flew it todayfor .5 hrs and it ran perfect ! Ellery's catch can worked perfect and my fuel pressure stays between 1.4 to 1.7 and absolutely no problems running what so ever!
Thank you Thom for making me look closer and the crankcase vent system as that was my problem from the start. I believe condensation in the line froze blocking the venting and raising the pressure in the engine causing the fuel pump to go wild!. It was 16* today when I flew it and all was good ! Now to build trust in her again...lol
