It shouldn't build up but it does even with a breather system which has been cleaned as per the book. I recently did some work on a KV6 and found an extended Shannon tube that fed air from around the exhaust to counter this possibility.

Have a look here: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...=104108&page=3 describing the situation in Russia with roughly the same low temperatures.

From what I see of your winter temperatures on-line you should be safe there in Vancouver, just be careful where you visit in the winter months.
