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 |

QUOTE(bperry @ Dec 7 2004, 09:04 PM) Any suggestions on fittings? Can you just tap the hole and use a threaded brass fitting directly? --- bill Standard pipe thread hose barb....I would think about 3/8" i.d. (guessing). I would try to match the factory i.d. If doing this while the head is on the engine, I would use a shop vac to suck up the metal as you drill and tap. You can also use heavy grease on the tap to trap the cuttings to avoid metal intrusion into the engine. |
