after the car not liking a weber,I refitted my 2e3,it ran fine,tweaked the mixture and off I went,then I find somethings v wrong-the large breather pipe is chucking out fuel vapour,and I think it chucked out oil also, all I can think is the fuel pump may be gone,or valve seals,or headgasket. anyone else had this problem?-I wanted to go in it to donny 2k2 but looks like Im going in a corsa SRi as a passenger now

i very much doubt its chucking fuel out, and yes it will chuck a little oil out if your engine has done lots of miles, or u have cracked piston ring etc

it chucked a small amount of oil out,the rest seems to be petrol and then petrol vapour, cracked piston ring?-hmmmmm could it be a few things wrong at the same time so its hard to pin it to one problem?

yeah sure Im on about the breather pipe,the larger one, I checked fuel pump today,and its ok, I have been friendly with furbers autobreakers in heapham for sometime,and he has a 1400 astra lump in with gear box, ?50,and if theres owt wrong with it I get a replacement,looks like im on the push bike for a little longer,but get the chance to recon the engine,and possibly fit a 4 branch manifold,and I may get new hoses all round etc while Im at it and paint some of the block. Still puzzled ove why the engines like this,ah well, at least I have a brand new dizzy,ht leads and plugs to go on the replacement engine,and Im going to mod the K&N to accomodate the breather pipe also-anything to look out for on 1400 engines? picking it up tomoro!
