Wenny

Mine is bent and comes up the back of the block

[WENNY]

cheers lads thats exactly how i was thinking, just need to know how deep to drill and what thread, i think it was 5mm deep and 6mm thread

[jacko996]

Pass on that mate, is the tube not already in the block

Edit, I guess you mean to bolt the breather on

[WENNY]

lol yes mate the little retaining bolt, i just dont fancy going to far lol

[jacko996]

Yer me neither, rather you than me

I drilled through into the waterway, but put blue hylomar on the bolt threads and it hasn't caused any problems. If you drill through the slightly raised/webbed part of the block (you'll see what I mean when you offer the breather can up), you'll be safe drilling about 10mm deep. I tapped my block M4, but if I was going to do it again, I'd do it M5.

Alternatively, make up a small bracket and bolt it to both the breather can and to one of the engine mount bolts.

[Gav Diamond]

I know the bracket is on the wrong side to yours but could you not make a braket to bolt up the same as this?

Pic stole off PF Wes Spec saff build or something

[jimcallear]

all i did was cut a slot into the tab and it sits behind one of the inlet nuts with a couple of washers like above as i didnt like the idea of drilling the block like the pic above

[WENNY]

now jim how did the set up go with martin,

[Mark Barber]

POSTING ON MARKS LOG IN the power was coming in well up the rev range and the inlet cam timing was found to be out slightly. there was a missfire as well which is down to the engine loom so martin is looking into that for me ill give him a bell later on today to see if there is any news
