Hi everyone, I went for a spirited drive last night and came back with a huge oily mess all over the engine. I have dual carbs and no crankcase breather as I wasn’t aware the need of one, what do you all recommend? I have a 1.7 block and heads that are now a 2056 and would like to put one in that is as simple as possible. Hoping something that just connects to the oil fill tower. Thanks!

Simple way is as the factory did it, most the 1.7 oil towers have a breather where the PCV valve is located, cut a hole in one of the air cleaners braze in a small piece of pipe you can connect a hose from the breather. 1.8 oil tower has a pipe where the hole for the PCV valve goes, omits the valve.

@mgphoto my issue or thing I want to avoid is getting the oil vapor and film into my air cleaners and into the carbs, I’d like a solution that doesn’t involve getting gunk in the carbs and avoiding the spill of oil I just had at the same time. Hoping both are possible, I just don’t know what kit/brand of crankcase breather to get
