Ok dual webber carbed 2.0, I think the PO had the head vents running to a T then to the oil breather near the oil cap... Is this right?? I did a search and now I'm really confused,,,,

............What in the hell...!!!!!("the oil goes through a hose to a breather can and drains back to the crankcase"HAM"). You people must have had a head vent tube kinked, with a down and up loop trapping , and draining oil, through some wierd siphon process. Properly done, and installed , the vent lines from the heads-continiously rise...go up to the catch can, breather box.ANY OIL slung to/into the breather tube will simply drain back to the head.... the hot VAPORS/WATER-IN THE FORM OF STEAM will rise to the catch tank to condense back into what they were...JUST DRAIN... a catch tank and SEE THE WATER, and liquid crud....AND JAKE RABY I was building 914 RACING engines,and 356 RACING ENGINES, and 911 RACING ENGINES, and doing complete turn key race cars........when you were still crapping in your diapers. SO DO NOT tell me what engines to specialize in. I have already gone down the road you are on now, and eventually you will rediscover a very simple yet elusive answer. SO PEOPLE....I still recommend using the STOCK head vents, to the stock location/ filler/location/ routing to the air box, or into the carburators....Unless of course you decide to use a much larger remote catch tank thats well vented. AS we all know the 914 heads are susceptable to cracking, and warping. Anything that can be done to remove heat from them just adds longitivity, and reliability. So VENT the head and help get some of the heat out of them....MURRAY .
