car was ok till the other day when it started to judder like it was getting starved of fuel. only every so slightly and not all the time. but its anoying as hell to be jerking (lol) down the road when i wasnt the other day....

Plugs and leads first! And use NGK's, not decidedly homo Bosch super 4's or any other multi electrode 'make your car go faster' plugs!

changed plugs for NGKBKU6EK (2288)'s still no change. gonna change the leads. i know what some of you are saying but its not the breather problem that is the problem it is electrical.

gonna change the rotor arm and dizzy cap too hopefully that will sort it.

Basically, you drill holes in the plate inside the rocker cover, to allow oil to drain back into the head instead of getting thrown out the breather pipe and entering the throttle body, then the cylinders.

I do the breather mod completely different. That plate on the bottom of the rocker cover I cut it all off apart from bit at the end with the two breath pipes. A few people i know have done it in the way everyone says, but it still smokes ect.. under certain situations.

Been doing that for ages and never had any problems.
