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 |

I don't know about how "full" the valve covers get but I lost a hose at the head during a recent autocross. From the amount of oil puddling under my car and splashed around the engine tin I thought I had serious problem. Re-attached the hose and all is well (after cleaning oil off rear shock, control arm, spring, inside of wheel, etc).
