This may seem like a dumb question. Do the 914-4 engines use a dry sump oil system? I am looking at getting a nice breather bottle but i don't know if the one on summit racing is what i need because is say's it is for a dry sump system. so can any one let me know please.

B, the air cleaner has very little if any vacuum.
The hose from the PCV valve (that's the one in or next to the oil filler) should go to the manifold, not the air cleaner. If you're getting a lot of oil in the manifold from this, you might want to pick up a new PCV valve. They are evidently available again after a while of being NLA. I have also heard of people putting a restrictor with a small hole into the hose, which probably helps at least some with the oil. Hmm, maybe running the PCV hose to a separator of some kind, then plumbing the separator to the manifold?? That might be one way to keep the oil out... --DD |
