just a push fit,metal to metal

 

What ya fookin about at Matt?

 

pmsl im trying to fit the new oil breather, took the red 2 way thingy off but theres no way that black pipe is gonna budge so the only thing to do is remove the flame trap itself

might try and chop it tommorow but theres other wires nearby so knowing my luck i will chop them too lol

i can move the flame trap by pushing it but it feels very stiff

bastid car

 

whats a flame trap ?

 

funny lookin thing under the inlet suppose ot traps erm flames lol

 

Ok.
For now, put the red plastic thing BACK ON and use it as an extension piece so you can pipe onto the top of it with your new pipe.

Dont get stressed over small jobs

 

so how does the flame trap come out anyway,lol?

 

Interference fit.
the more you interfere with it the less it fookin fits usually

 

pmsl,come on how?

 

u canm prise it round with a big bar or screwdriver so the pipe will fit onto it

 

I was being serious..lol

 

so it pushes in then,lol

 

i cant fit the red thing back on

twatting thing lol

how can a car get you sooooooooooooooooooooo mad ????

 

Blimey Matt....
Let me try and find you a pic to help you out. Its often easier to do when you know what the bit you cant see looks like

 

Hmm...
The only pictures i have on Photobucket arent going to tell you much, but here they are.....




As you can see, the flametrap spout is quite long and the pipe will have a clip on it also. The bottom of it will also have an oil return pipe going into the sump on yours, so if you want to remove the whole trap, this pipe has to be removed at the sump end first.

I suggest levering at the pipe stub end to rotate the assembly into a better position for access and then removing the clip off your right angled pipe or literally cutting it off. The clip should be just a spring clip so will pull off if your lucky.

Hope this helps Matt.

 

you wont get that flame trap off, believe me, ive tried!

if your fitting a breather, just push the breather hose over the spout on the flame trap and jubilee clip it.

but you will need to remove the original hoses and the meule valve (red ball ) first

 

thanks guys weve got the red thing off dave its the black hose coming from the trap were having trouble with

going back out to the car now just got up lol

round 5 ................................ding ding !

matt

 

Here's a pic:



I have the hose to my breather on the bit numbered '2'
Oh, and 1A is the cossy one.

 

Steve you have your breather plumbed in wrong then.

 

Thanks. It's one of those 'jobs for a rainy day'

 

Get out there now it not THAT cold.

 

Both are Cosy.. 1A is later revision and far more effective as it returns oil to the sump.


You will find he has probably retained the Ford designed 4x4 systems oil return to sump which is VERY effective, so not a bad error all in all

 

Shut up Stu. Wot do you know.

 

Slightly less than sweet FA and lovin it

 

Still got it on wrong though
He's got it on part number '2' on that diagram,that part should have been fooked off with pipe going straight onto flame trap
This still would leave oil return to sump

A reply that Stu has'nt read properly

 

pic 1 : installed with the red bit pulled off the top.

pic 2: removed with the oil return and block connections to the bottom.

pic 3: block with it removed - see where the oil return from your new breather shuold go - into the sump where the old one came from.


and pic 4: with the new breather pipe fitted with a nipple into teh block - this is 1 port of your new breather.

 

admitidly - this is all very much easier with the head off

 

and my 'dead good' breather pic........



eddited to say - the pic SHOULD say oil return on the "passenger" side where the std seperator return it to

 

Why have you taken out the flame trap.

 

Don't think you really need it when running a aftermarket breather kit
because its not connected to inlet theres no chance of a flame going back
into sump
