Hi All,
I tried a "search" but came up with nothin'... I have a 2.0 that needs a rebuild. I have a fresh longblock ready for me to transfer all the accessories now that their re-painted. As I was fitting the engine tin I noticed that my (old) engine has the heads vented. The vent hoses were attached to the air cleaner. The (new) engine has NO VENT PIPES!!! Now what? Should I just add a breather to the oil filler??? Or...? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Thanks, Gary |

Actually, all of the vented valve covers in 914s that I've seen have been add-ons.
The earliest 914s did not, I believe, have vents in the heads. Nor did the 75-76es; or possibly just those of the latter years that had EGR and/or a smog pump. It's probably a good idea to have the rocker box vented... --DD |
