StewartG Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I've noticed that most modified Vx engines seem to have the pipe that runs from the side of the cam cover near number four exhaust header down to the dipstick cover plate removed. What does this pipe do and can it be taken off once the engine is dry sumped and the dipstick's no longer needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8vastra Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 its an oil breather pipe up to the head...dunno about removing it TBH, but i was thinking of piping a filter inline to remove the gunk before it goes up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 You need to mods to the breathers inside the head (which essentially apply a flow dirtection to the breathing) before you remove this pipe.

EFA Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Towers on the oilways. Swindon do this for a moderate fee. Fat Arn Visit the K2 RUM siteid=red> See the Lotus Seven Club 4 Counties Area Website hereid=green> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russb Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Arnie, are the mods that you refer to the removal of most of the plate inside the rocker cover ?? If so then details are on SBD's website. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 No these are an entirely different mod. The SBD mod is for engines running a higher oil level and higher rpm than stock which return oil to the catch tank rather than the injettion plenem.
