Does anybody have some detailed pictures of the actual fitment of the hoses on the block?

I've seen them around over here but I do not seem to be able to find them.

breather block bung on RHS of block with knock sensor wire bolt removed...


oil return on LHS of block with length of black oil hose now attached and breather block hole infront with factory breather removed.......


RHS block adaptor fitted and oil hose connected - run round the back of the block (must be covered in heat proof foil wrap) connects to one of the top ports on breather oil sprerator....



LHS of block fitted with block adaptor and oil hose fitted - route through inlet manifold and onto other top port of breather oil sperator...

my painted breather - connect the black oil return to the smaller of the 2 ports at the bottom of it. and the vent to atmosphere port on the bottom side to your catch tank....


pipe fed up through inlet manifold (past the greens )....

Looked at the pictures today and there's still 1 thing not sure for me.

Where do I connect the oil return to below oil level in the sump????

Or have I missed something?????

Dave Henshall

the small black pipe with the silver jubilee clip on the bottom - to the left of the oil filter and the right of the oil pressure transmitter , where the factory oil seperator would return the oil to(4x4 and escos only - the 2wd does not have this return point), feeds back to below the oil level in the sump. a common fault people make is to breathe from the top of the factory oil breather/seperator, and the rocker cover and return the oil to the left hand side of the block under the exhaust manifold which is NOT under the oil level and IS exposed to blow by pressure not allowing the oil to retuen to the sump at all until the engine is switched off

a 3 port seperator would vent from both sides AND the rocker cover, but a 2 port seperator should be fitted as above.
