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 |

on my old L-Jet, I machined Delrin plugs to fill up the 2 inlets on the air-intake elbow between the AFM and the throttle body......
no additional air to worry about, what air went past the AFM is the air that got into the motor..... For the crankcase, I used a catch can (actually a modified Gatorade plastic bottle (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ) If you design the catch can correctly, you can hook it up to the aircleaner to get some of the crankcase air to be injested into the motor instead of the atmosphere without too much oil vapor being sucked up as well. |
