Connect up your breather pipes and put them in the catch tank/Coke bottle.

Done.

Your huge engine will now no longer be breathing its own oily fumes.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Surly not in good health if it needs one!

My enormous 1800 hardly justifies one.

Not a guide for a MK2 but still, the principle is the same.

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:
