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

you need to plumb it back into your inlet/ intake

[Redwarf]

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

[cuzzo]

don't block it.

[mitch_mac]

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.

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:
