    Default 8v cam rocker cover / BREATHER

    now then - heres an idea!

    with the 2ltr custom plug cover thing lately, ive had an idea thatll settle 2 of my problems

    on the 1.6 8v engine i think, the breather pipe from engine comes up into the top of the cam housing through the cam rocker cover,

    so - my idea is this

    :idea: can i modify a 1.6 cam cover, and bring my breather pipe up to it, so the oil goes back in, and also put a T in to vent the air out - and also get it chromed or engraved or whatever (ent decided yet)

    another thing that led me this way was dan cheers MATE :evil: LOL :wink: cos he sent me a pic of his engine with the pipe being reutrned to the top and also a mini k&n on a T piece..........

    is this possible?

    :?: will the rocker cover from 1.6 fit a 1.3 cam housing?
    :?: could i connect my breather pipe to it?

    Yep, that should work. Would solve alot of problems. try keeping the vent at the top of the return.

    why does the GTE 1.6 engine do this as standard then?

    if there is a problem why would vauxhall design it as standard this way???

    :?: will the rocker cover physically fit?

    :?: and there probably wont be a GTE i want in a scrappy sop what other engines can i knick parts off!?
