decided to whip my rocker cover off and give it a good clean in preparation for a few mods coming soon. I knew it was going to be messy but christ -





The 2 breather pipes near the airflow meter were completely blocked

Its much cleaner now tho

But why do you need the bottle? Thought the breather crankcase filter was all you need?

To catch the oil that would normally carry on into the inlet manifold. U get oil surge with or without the breather mod
