FItted my second hand one today and couldn't see anywhere for the pipe from breather to plenum to go so just plumbed it up with a bit of wood.

Is it correct that you just block it off?

 

I 'think' you can get a blocker - just a bit of plastic - fits in same hole with same thread from Bailey

Or, alternatively get an ACT gauge

 

This is the part you need, it comes with the fitting kit. if you pm me an address i'l chuck it in an envelope and post it to ya

That's the kiddy!

 

Hi ,just see in youre engine picture that you have no cambelt cover fitted,I'd advise you to refit it as a stone could get jammed between the belt and pulley resulting in piston to valve contact,not a cheap fix!!!!Regards Micky

edited as my spelling was woefull!!

 

yeah thats fine block it however

 

Since fitting the baileys ive seen some mayonnaise on the underside of the oil filler cap

What could that be? I cant see it being my head gasket as the coolant is fine

 

someone missplaced the helmans?....

might be sumit from the breather itsself from the last owner perhaps?unless its new then havent a clue! could have been sumit jammed in your engine but now that it breathes better its a little looser.?

 

What were the original pipe's like when you took them off?

If you havent lost any coolant and under the cap isnt all that bad i wouldnt worry too much.Short journeys can cause this effect under the oil cap

 

Original pipes had a bit of oil gunk in them - They were still original!!

I drove about 5 miles and had a look and was a thin film of mayo under there

 

when was ya last oil change?......if was very recent then dont worrie if was a while ago might pay to do one incase ya have inadvertantly (sp) contaminated anything.

 

Just flush all the pipes out with a high pressure tap - and then let them dry
Put all back in place and should be ok

How often is the oil changed? - serious question

As said, short journeys WILL cause this problem due to the oil not getting hot enough

 

Not overly sure on last oil change.

Am going to change the oil this afternoon with the Silkolene Pro S 5W - 30 i brought few wks back

 

The one OILMAN recommended to me was Silkolene Pro S 10w-50

 

My mistake i have Silkolene 5W - 40 which oilman recommended to me

 

Ok, cool
Just didn't want you to use too thin a oil

 

5-40! nice!

im using the 10-50 race oil! .....highly canned motor!
