While pulling my carbs off I noticed that each head has an air vent. One was capped off, the other was open.
Where should these go and why are they needed? Will capping these contribute to oil leaks? Here is a pic I found: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1...-1131214564.jpg Thanks |

You need the head vents to keep from building excessive crankcase pressure. The only 914 without head vents was the 1.8L with the L-Jet system. It uses a different system. If the vents are there, they make the engine run lean.
Hook them to a vent box mounted high up in the engine compartment. |
