I have a 1.7 and a 1.8 engine - one of these have vented heads with the little pipe coming off by the spark plug hole - I had been told that only 2.0 heads have the vent - Is this correct
thanks, Bill |

Venting the engine helps in releaving crank case preasure from high revs and high volume oil pumps. Bill had four hoses used on this one, all I did was add an after market breather box. The oil filler box has a case preasure vent on it for this purpose but many engines do not have head vent tubes. When using an after market high volume oil pump, Jake Rabi suggests having head vents because an oil tight engine can become an oil leaking one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
