Title: Breather
Post by: sportsman on 22 May 2011, 17:23

They we go,

Now like I put in the new poll section, Do you need a breather for normal aspirated engines or just Forced Induced?

Cheers

An engine must have the breather flowing... DON'T block the breather! Your engine needs to breath surprisingly enough, as it heats up the oil expands, oil vapours form and pressure will build up in the engine. If the engine is not able to breath expect the pressure build up to start forcing the oil out of the engine. It will flow out of any hole, I have seen a 6n polo pissing oil out the dipstick and this was a "lucky scenario", the oil could further damage seals and rings, followed by a starvation of oil to the engine...

You get the picture I'm sure.

The engine question related the naturally aspirated or forced induction engine holds no significants, the engine must breath regardless of the aspiration...
