RE: thermostat breather?
By Mike McQuesten - 05/27/2001 3:55:45 PM; IP 63.50.124.207
It must be that the previous owner of this intake fabricated a breather from an old 'stat housing? Anyway, I'd run a breather system, i.e., one like PSE used to make(I have one but it's not for sale), a plate like Travis recommends, along with a Positive Crankcase breathing system which is doable with this intake. Or heck maybe that thermostat housing on the back works fine? One thing to check on that intake his the heat chamber crossover underneath. Take off the tin oil splash pan and check the aluminum for cracking/break through. They're typically rotted there. What I did with one like this was to cut the old aluminum chamber out carefully (I had this done by a pro) leaving the bosses for the tin pan to be replaced. Then I had the heat cross over holes filled and surfaced. This made it a warm weather intake only . It does help to keep the intake cooler thus the fuel delivery cooler which is a good thing for warm weather performance.
This thread, so far...
