bill 0 Posted August 2, 2008 was just about to top the oil up, whilst trying to take the top off, theres a stupid max power filter attached to the top of the pipe, whats all this about? anyway, its broken off, probably a good thing? i take it i will now need to plug the small bit of pipe that it was attached to? cheers hope this makes sense? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted August 2, 2008 you mean an oil breather filter? i guess it's a standard engine so it's better to get a "new" oil filler and the missing hose that goes back to the inlet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rom 0 Posted August 2, 2008 The oil filler cap pulls out from the oil pipe. Once off, look inside, it has a wire mesh to catch gunk built up from condensation. Come from the filler tower / cap, is 2 breathers . One to the pipe between AFM / Throttle body, (splits to a small pipe to throttle body too). The other runs back down to the block. Do you mean that the filler cap doesnt have the pipe going to the AFM pipe ? Has someone taken the pipe off and chucked a breather filter onto the cap instead ? Not the best pic, but should help explain it. Ive now ditched all of the breathers back to the inlet, and run a catch tank setup with breathers running into it. Hope that helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattmk1 0 Posted August 3, 2008 Hes running carbs so wont have the afm trunking, hence why the little breather filter has been fitted. We normally use a catch tank on competition cars but those little K&N filters do a lovely job. Where have you routed the breather pipe to now?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rom 0 Posted August 3, 2008 Oh sry..didnt know he was on carbs Now the cam breather and filler cap breather go to a catch tank . The pipe from the filler tower still runs down to the block. As im not entirely sure whether this is a breather from the crank..or a air return to aid oil filler...or both. Figured it would be hard to fill without it. And any crankcase vapours can go up filler tower aswell as that one. So didnt see the point in removing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bill 0 Posted August 7, 2008 MMMMmmm, a bit lost here now lol, i put the filter back on where it came from, with a bit of rubber pipe i found and some tape but its done the job for now, i'll get a pic up, thats probably the best bet, thanks for the advice guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
