Re: Engine breather I think the 4x4 crew were talking about PP and were not entirely positive. I'm not spending €70 on something that can be repaired for less than €1!

Re: Engine breather Nice job, Russ. Don't suppose you have access to a manometer to test whether it's working?
How thick was the old rubber diaphragm you removed compared to the mudflap? I wonder if the air pressure/suction will be able to overcome something as thick as this?

Re: Engine breather It was the same thickness which is why I used it, the only other bits of rubber about where old inner tubes and tractor tyres. Not only do I not have a manometer, even if I made one I don't currently have a working engine to test it on either. I'm going to rewrite the original post with better pictures and more explanations and sticky it when I do a second one with the improved and hopefully long lasting rubber flap.

Just a bit of clear rubber hose, a piece of wood, some "big headed" screws and some water/beer/coolant/windscreen washer fluid or whatever is in the garage. Or actually, if you think " less is more-always", just the rubber hose with some water and hold it in a U-shape. It will give you an idea of the working state of the breather.

Re: Engine breather use lhm in the tube and if the engine decides to suck the contents of the tube into the engine internals then its not a full oil change  or a fubared engine
