Engine clean up

Featured Replies

put your standard breather back on craig, i presume its the crankcase breather? its only suppost to let air in, but the aftermarket breathers allow anything in and anything out, therefore oil! the standard breather acts like a diaphragm i just cut it off my standard box and plonked it in the bay somewhere, not lost a touch of oil since

About the crankcase breather, isnt it suposed to let the engine breath? hence breathing out. u say theres a diaphram that stops it breathing out in the original airbox?

this is confusing,

some guys at work said as a engine wears it will breath more gases out as more can escape.

normally if the crackase breather pipe goes into the airbox like standard set-up the air filter gets dirty and the gases just get recycled through the inlet and back through the system. :?

very nice how come you swapped the bmc for this craig just a change?
