alright long story but

 

today i got pulled over by traffic task force lol sounds like something out of star wars lol

 

and the copper was a good bloke honked my horn looked at my tyres looked at my lowering blocks ect ect

 

popped the bonnet as he says I'm no machanic and i don't no much about cars (remember this guy is trying to tell me the next thing) but you can't have a breather on your tappet/rocker cover he said i have to block it

 

ok i block the tapped cover i blow my seals right? i did the right thing and put a filter on it?

thanks guys

 

mitch

you need to plumb it back into your inlet/ intake

Correct. Can't have it breathing to the atmosphere. Must be plumbed back.

alright thats easyyyyyyyy but what about completely blocking it?

don't block it.

alright thanks guys fr your help =]

 

justed wanted to clear the air

alright thats easyyyyyyyy but what about completely blocking it?

 

If you block it (depending on your PCV system) you'll pressurise your cam/rocker cover, which is not good. Or, it'll reverse the PCV system. Either way, it isn't working in the way that it was designed.

Correct. Can't have it breathing to the atmosphere. Must be plumbed back.

 

Yep.

 

Except on the ke1x series (pre-pollution, pre-ADR's) whose crankcase ventilation system consists of a simple dump pipe which directs any crankcase pressure/fumes down to beside the gearbox. :jamie:

lOl I actually saw a KE20 with one of those dump pipes yesterday. :jamie:
