Ok dual webber carbed 2.0, I think the PO had the head vents running to a T then to the oil breather near the oil cap... Is this right?? I did a search and now I'm really confused,,,,

QUOTE Now that the head guy spoke up and said it didn't do jack for the engine , I want to hear more of this new info please, Len ??? It does do something; it slows the return of oil to the crankcase and therefore the pickup and it causes the oil to run a bit hotter. I'm going to let you guys stew on this one for a while and see if you can figure it out. I'll give you a hint; it has to do with pressure differentials between the crankcase and rocker chambers. |

So, I should just put pipe plugs in the holes you drilled and taped in the heads you built for me? I guess development marches on, my heads are still in the boxes after 3 years! Maybe this year! |
