Hi everyone,
Right, I have just removed my cam cover, and I have a couple of questions. I have to drill a 5/8 hole in it to take an alloy tube for an oil seperator pipe. I was led to believe that there is a certain place it must go, or where it was designed to go, namely in this cast hole, at the back where its arrowed...................



Now the problem with this is that where the hole would come out on the other side is right smack bang in the middle of where the cover is tapered to allow the clearence of the cams, so the pipe that I have to push on won't sit flush with the top of the cover. The blue vertical line illistrates where the hole would roughly come out....................



So basically, is this where the breather pipe has to go, or is it in the wrong place????

One other thing, what is that little hole for arrowed on the second piccy?

Thanks

 

yes that is where you drill

not sure what the little hole is for but don't think it does anything, maybe stops a bit of pressure/condensation building up in the hollow area around the spark plug chamber

 

thats where i had my one fitted for my breather system mate

and as far as i know its the only place to fit it

 

have you got any bigger pics tho - just before i tell you thats its correct

 

I know, sorry bout the pic size Thank the lord for autosizing on PF

So will I have to machine a flat on the top side so the hose sits flush???

Thanks for the feedback peeps

 

Churchy, you could always breathe from the exhaust side of the block instead of the cam cover....

 

Just leave the cam cover in ya front room, she will breathe well then mate!

 

Cut the hose on the same angle as the rocker cover if your that fussy m8

Can't really tell when its on the car anyway m8

 

i did a how-to guide Mike

its in the technical essay area

 

I only just thought of that about 5 minutes ago
