Looking at it, you would be better off with a flattened breather On 18th Oct, 2013 apbellamy said:

Old trick is smash the breather on the timing cover flat. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Take the fan off, and take the hammer to the breather. Simple! On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I have the same issue Craigie, if you put a spacer you need to modify your top radiator bracket, and is a pain in the ass to fit the radiator with the spaver in the fan!!!

ahh okay, well it fits teh engine so far I will try hold the rad against it tomorrow and see how it is, if it catches then I may have to chop the breather. The top bracket I was using is from a 998 so will need modifying anyway :) On 10th Mar, 2012 theoneeyedlizard said:
