With what you are saying about engine oil in air filter /airbox it’s an overfill .Its impossible to say on a hot bike how low is the oil level .Im telling this based on SFV4S experience.Maybe you should take it to a different dealer and take a second opinion.

It was blown piston rings mate, not overfill. Even by lowering the oil to min, there was blowby. But now its been fixed with the new engine.
 
Rings huh? That’ll do it for sure. Now why were the rings “bad”? We’ll never know because the Ducati factory will tear down the engine, not the dealer.

I bought a brand new Honda CB1100F (air-cooled inline 4 of course) back in 1983 that smoked from the right exhaust, only when it was fully warmed up hot. It ran really strong though! After a lot of back-and-forth I finally convinced the dealer (good people back then) to pull the head & cylinders to find #4 piston had no oil rings at all. That’s right, the factory engine builder just missed it! Yeah, that’s the Japanese extra attention to detail/quality and all that. Moral of the story, if it’s done by humans, .... WILL happen. Fix it and move on.

Onto the third engine, Ive never heard of such a bad run of luck. Not that it's impossible, just very unlikely that Ducati made two defective engines and somehow managed to deliver them both to the same guy. If I was a betting man, I'd put money on the user or the dealer ....... up and I am not sure which. The boasting about speed and lean angle indicates a total squid, but given the merciless thrashing many here have given their bikes and the relatively few complaints about faulty engines it does tend to indicate user or dealer error.
 
It's a Ducati forum damnit! No one else has the valve train or victory titles so yes I will brag. Especially about a V4R.

And how do you unfollow your own post? You'd actually have to unfollow a few bc you also spread the same help posts in others, like ol karl trying to sell a part lol
 
I'm sure you're waiting to mention the oil leak (which is fixed btw) and I'm about to swap that water pump and install the factory pro shift kit tomorrow morning so please quote me

I'm not a fan of your riding style on street, but I like your energy mate!

Glad it all worked out with 3rd engine

See the problem at my location is that the track is very far away from the hometown, like 2500km away. So in such cases, good roads end up becoming the places where we rip the bike. However unfortunate that is, cant be helped.
 
I had the similar issue....too much oil in the bike. So at high rpms the excess oil comes out the airbox and all down the sides of the bike.
