It's been a long time since my last teener, but I just don't remember the breather ports in the valve covers...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) never seen any in the covers, sounds like a custom job from someone who didn't have the right heads. Andy |

OK...but the hoses go from the valve covers to a big filter mounted on the recir pump...I think I,ll lose the pump...Do I need the breather ports in the covers or should I get new covers...If I lose the filter where do the hoses plug in...
PO cut the tin with a double bladed ax to get the hoses up through to the fliter...If I don't need the ports, I can repair the tin and ditch the filter... 2-OH! |

Need? Nope. But having that crankcase ventilation path does help... Ask the people who have sucked valve cover gaskets in.

acox914,
Sorry to complain but your avatar is flashing in my face. I have to skip your posts because there's too much flashing on the screen near the writing. Just my opinion. Douglas |
