Re: Oil Breathers
Hi Mike,
Here's another consideration: I have installed a "flame arrestor" (marine style) on my A with excellent results. It consists of a 1/2" breather tube installed on the valve galley cover, leading to the intake bore of the carburetor. The tube runs in back of the carburetor, and is barely visible. It sucks all crankcase vapors into the carb intake and burns them in the combustion process. It keeps the engine compartment clean, and it helps to cool the engine by removing hot gases from the crankcase. This is not a solution for a "dirty" motor, but it the best thing since sliced bread for a clean one.
Happy Motoring!
