Bups 0 Posted March 3, 2007 What would cause the above to happen?? How can i prevent it?? Iv dismantled and cleaned the breather on the block, replaced the breather pipe running from block to airbox etc etc.. Changed oil/oil filter/air filter/leads/dizzy/rotor... Any suggestions guys?

Toad 0 Posted March 3, 2007 Sounds like the engine is breathing a bit heavy, try taking the oil filler cap off when it's running and seee if there is much gas being blown out, be careful of the oil being spat out too. It could be that you havve worn piston rings or the head gasket is blowing, you might do well to have a compression test. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted March 4, 2007 theres sposed to be a mesh in the breather pipe to help seperate the vapor...that might be mising most 16v get a little oil in the airbox between services...if its a little dont worry if its loads fit a catch tank so the pipe doesnt go to the airbox any more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
