If i'm gonna vent both sides of the block, i'm guessing i need a connector tapped in as there isn't one as standard is there?
So its a head removal jobbie yes?

Cheers

 

what sort of vent do u mean ? are u talkin about a oil breather system ?

 

Nah mate peice of piss, the inlet side just connect it there, the exhaust side theres a nut in the block facing up, unbolt that and go to a hydraulics place and ask for a breather tap the same thread size as the bolt and screw it in You can also get 1 for the cam cover aswell if you wanna, i have with mine but obvously need it off to do it. Can take a few pics tomorrow if you want?! gonna be workin on mine.

 

daddy cool yes mate
nice one tony, don't wanna vent from the cam cover. So whats this nut doing there exactly

 

Its a blamking nut, basically a return to sump, was put there for uprating purposes obviously

 

pmsl if it was put there for upgrade purposes, why didn't they fit them with bigger wheels so you can upgrade the brakes easier, and also fit them all as standard with a 200 block

cheers mate
just gotta look into what fittings to have now

 

Same reason most cars are like that, cos u gotta pay more to upgrade lol, and the 200block wasnt out when the made the 2wds



Basically u want 1 of thses

But the same thread as the bolt u take out

 

cheers mate

 

its dead easy to do , although ive fitted a pipe outa the cam cover on mine ,
what make is the one u wanna fit ?

 

philloy mate

 

not really looked at one of them m8 , i use one of the old baily items , it took me about an hour to fit including drilling and fitting the rocker cover pipe , the only complaint i had was the thickest tube (to atmoshere) was to short and didnt reach anything to clip it to under the car !

 

does anyone know the thread type of the original nut? bsp or metric

 

also roughly whats the temp and pressure of a cossie engine

I've got down 90degs average and 120degs MAX
Pressure 90psi Max to around 30psi when idling warm

Just as a guide, cheers

while you are at hydraulics place get one of these

 

whas that? don't look like a dry sump

 

if you breathe from both sides of block you need to return the oil to the sump plug....buy this from hydraulics place and its job done.....it is actually two parts,the 90 degree fitting and a reducer that screws in the sump(you have to get nut turned down on lathe to fit) easy to drop oil and saves the thread in sump

 

fpmsl ah right i see thats what late nights watchin trisha does to you

good thinking mate gonna get the sump off any way to fit an oil temp gauge (as i don't wanna use the sump nut) i thought there was a standard return though.
