Done.

Your huge engine will now no longer be breathing its own oily fumes.

Post by: underground91 on 29 July 2011, 23:26: well the vapour bit am not too sure on + the breather bit at the cylinder block is f**ked as is it got shredded somehow :/

Also as im planning on using a MK4 / 6N polo rocker cover i dont know if i would be able to have a oil breather pipe from the rocker anymore , or would there be another route the piping would take..? :huh:
