Blocked breathers?
Turbo Mini Forums

Ive taken my breather off the clutch housing as I thought it was blocked, but ive blown through it and it doesn't seem restricted at all. Is it usually possible to blow through the breather and it still be classed as "blocked"?

The gasket below the breather is broken and when the engine is turned off oil poors out from the gasket but there seems no sign of oil on the bonnet which makes me think it is blocked?

Im confused any ideas...Lol

Hi,
It won't push anything through the breather as the gasket at the bottom isn't making a seal.
Cheers,

I think you need to find out why oil is in the vicinity of the clutch housing.

133.5 bhp 123 lb torque 116mph @6640rpm 9.5psi
Shakespear RWYB 14.995 91.83mph

to lubricate the drop gears?

I was thinking that maybe the gasket failed because the breather was blocked, but im not sure if this is the case or not!!

Not sure whether to just stick a new gasket on and bolt the breather back on or not as it could be doing more harm than good?
