Andy43 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 All Got a few k series timing chain covers kicking around the shed. I know the bolt sizes and lengths are different between different K series. But what is that breather pipe for on some of them and where is it supposed to connect up too ? Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan G Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 its connected to a valve (of some sort) then another line comes from the air filter housing, nfi? another breather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I've only ever seen it on specific type of 3k. One I had with it was from an auto 3k KE30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy43 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yep I know I was being slack! It was raining outside and cold in the shed. I guessed I could wing it without pix's but been caught out again. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan G Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 ive seen one on a 1975 ke35 3k 2 speed toyoglide, send a msg to "blktoy" and ask for some pics of it in his engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 3K-H A - goes to the fuel tank evaporation hose, bit like the charcoal box. B - goes to the top section of the aircleaner box. The cover. C - goes to the timing chain cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blktoy35 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 my ke35 3k-h has this set up as pictured above.....some kind of breather as evan g mentioned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 My 3k-h had this as well. when replaced with a 5k, which didnt have that hose fitting on the timing cover, the hose was super glued onto the back of the timing cover. Didnt seem to effect the operation of anything so you could say it does two fiths of f@$k all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 The 3K in my KE25 had the same timing cover, just plugged up, none of the other piping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Less pressure in the block generally means more ability to make power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Run the crankcase under negative pressure (vacuum) like some of the V8 boys do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWF#14 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hey mate want to sell me that timing cover with the breather thing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy43 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I think I got a few kicking around the shed, I'll check tomorrow, If I have you can have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Run the crankcase under negative pressure (vacuum) like some of the V8 boys do. usually involves a fairly expensive vacuum pump setup though. For not a huge gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
