[QUOTE="mike202, post: 604904, member: 17202"] This is very interesting as I have always used the plastic fitting to the filter, and have never thought about it not being wide enough for venting the engine case. One garage I took Monty to even blocked off the breather pipe with a bolt in the end of a short rubber pipe on the oil filler! :roll: I will investigate further. I have seen one youtube vid 'University Motors Ltd.' with a guy called John talking about the same issue on an MG car fitted with a Weber type carb and I can see the reasoning about the narrow elbow causing resistance to the airflow but I hadn't believed the airflow to be that much that it would make such a difference. :shock: :) [/QUOTE]
