eric Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 Owner manuel says that valve must be change every 12000 miles. On the 1600 GT only, sprint and supersprint don't have this ? What is the use of it ? Why only GT have this valve ? GT owners can remove it ? Thank for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 I think thae valve referred to is the one in the ventilation system which has a oneway valve/flametrap, the crankcase ventilation is usually routed to the inlet manifold where it consumed by the engine. This is only viable when you have a shared manifold between the four cylinders and the ventilation pipe is connected to the confluence of the inlet runners. I believe the GT has a single carb and therefore somewhere convenient to mount the vent pipe. On the sprint and supersprint webers are fitted, the manifold for these doesnt have a convenient or effective place for this to be sited so the ventilation pipework is connected to a catch tank mounted on or by the bulkhead, I *think* its just a mini/metro washer bottle.

allen Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Eric, I believe on xflow engines with twin DCOE carbs fitted the valve is removed and as oily says, the vent pipe is routed to a catch tank on the bulkhead.
