RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

Does anyone know what to do about the replacing that ugly massive thing on the left hand side of the 2L block. I think its the crakcase ventilation plug but i was wondering if there are neater methods of sealing that hole.
Also would it be a problem if the oil cap did not have a breather hole as in it was one solid piece.

Thanks

Gotta let blowby out.

You can seal up the old cortina style fillers, with a bit of inventive silcone placement.




Redline do one of these especially for the pinto.
Fits straight on that breather baffle

i have a real bad case of blow-by..
aaaaand i dont know why..
my breather likes to spit oil, im also using one of those filters ^^
PCV rattles when i shake it, so it SHOULD be working.. and its connected to vacuum on manifold.

Blowby occurs when the piston rings fail to do their job properly

This one is sold as direct fitment to the pinto.

is that the edzact same one as in part number and all.? and where does it fit on? anyone got a pic? is it instead of plumbuing from the air, oil seperator to the intake manifold???

I currently have a hose coming out of the crankcase breather that is located underneath the inlet manifold. This leads up into the inlet manifold.

Now I'm about to fit a pair of Weber's. On the underneath side of the twin's manifold is an inlet for this hose to connect into. Will I need another breather hose off the oil filler cap (there currently isn't one), or will the current one that goes into the manifold suffice?

Alternatively (or eventually) I can set up an Oil Catch Can. Can someone post some pics of their set up? I gather the Catch Can just replaces the current breather set up with the same hoses being redirected into the new Catch Can... correct?

Some options......

Thanks for the pics Roger.
