rocker cover breather
Turbo Mini Forums

looks like a mini/metro banjo and bolt to me from the servo take off.

There is a place near me called Anglian hose and hydraulics they supplied the bolt banjo/bolt and the 2 copper washers they also supplied the t-piece and 3 hose fittings i used to hook it up to the crank case breather.
The whole lot cam to just under £15 I am not sure how much the banjo and bolt was on its own.

If anyone wants these let me know and i can get them and post them (will have to see how much it will cost to post lo)

for the extra bit of piping, its worth straightening up the cooler too......you eninge bay is too nice to have a cooler look like its been chucked in there.....also think of the gains....

sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but im having issues similar to this.

I have a 3k since new bore,rings, pistons engine. I was on a 200 mile journey, mostly motorway. Engine is running MJ and running approx 12.0 afr on boost and part throttle, its running a standard metro turbo map with 7.9:1 CR


Since this journey ive had oil blowing out of the rocker cover (standard metro cover with big red cap)... anyway i thought it could just be a worn seal, so i bought a new cap from Mini Sport and it still leaks oil a lot! so it must be forced out at some pressure to be leaking out of the rocker cover cap?????

Im hoping my rings havent gone but i dont see how? PLUS theres no smoke at all coming out of the exhaust AND theres no oil in my catch tank (fed by the 2 normal engine breathers) although there is a petrolly/watery substance in the catch tank, but its not much... id say its got about 200ml of water/fuel in the catch tank and its not been emptied for 2 months.

Whats peoples ideas? it was fine for 3,000miles... but now its just blasting oil out! GAH fed up of these problems.

is that from a weber, looks very similar.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

thanks mate :)

A cheaper, but less neat option for me was to get a barbed fitting from a local engineering shop, and drill and tap the rocker box. I think it cost me a quid or so for the fitting, and just some blue hose pipe.

Turbo parts collector at the moment, almost ready.

This mite be a daft question but instead of the blue hose could you put a breather filter straight to the take off on the r box?
