Jake recommended I do this for my engine. Apparently this involves welding on a 1/2" fitting to the cover. Anyone got pics?

John Rogers welded breathers to his in this article on the bird. Some pics of what he did.
Valve Covers A couple years ago, he sold me a set and I like them, but they leak where the hose meets the breather. Oil is like water; if there's a way out, it will find it. I'm thinking of modifying them so it's less likely. You also have to cut a hole in your tin and it can be tricky to get them on and off (clearance between tin and the breather tubes. It's not ideal. |
