For those running dual carbs, how do you attach a crankcase breather hose to the filters? Especially if you have K&Ns, which I plan to replace. Do you run two hoses? Got pics? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

my engine doesn't have either head vents or valve cover vents, if I put these nipples on my valve covers would it stop the leaking from around the top of the push rod tubes? And yes I have tried to replace the O-rings, but have the old '70 heads with smaller pushrod tube openings that have no longer made original O-rings, had to go to FLAPS and even hardware stores to try to find ones that are close. Using a sealant that Jake mentioned has helped a lot.

ruddyboys: I bet venting would help. Its the pressure along with bad push rod seals thats probably causing the leakage...
Well, I might start with something like Gint's setup and then consider venting to the valve covers. I know that this is a different setup then the factor FI (running carbs), but if the engineers didn't think it was necessary for the engine to have any additional venting other than the oil cap filler, perhaps that single vent is adequate. Also, were is the condensing oil going to go once it gets inside the valve covers? Everytime I've adjusted my valves it doesn't seem like there is any oil in there... |
