Where's this pipe go then???

[Enoch]

Wotcha peeps:)
OK, so nearly ready for the first start but being a senile old twit I have forgotten where all me pipes on my 2.0 DOHC I4 enginego. I have worked out nearly all of them except 1 or two. The one I am concerned about comes out from near the dipstick and is a metal pipe that runs round by the manifold. Can anyone confirm that this joins up to the outlet near the MAP connector on the manifold? Also as I now have no air filter box I have put a filter on the cam shaft cover breather - does this seem sensible? Am I correct in saying there was originally a pipe from the cam cover breather to the air box?
I just have to put two bits of fuel pipe on in the engine bay, supply my permanent live and switched live to the ecu, bung in some gogo juice, sort out the plumbing, pray, sacrifice a virgin and hopefully get her started :) The car that is, not the virgin :D
I will start it without the cooling system first as I expect I will have to get some hoses made up.
Thanks in advance,
Enoch

The pipe at the back is the crank breather which does go to the inlet manifold somewhere...

I am not sure you will pass IVA with a filter on the cam cover the vapour should be recirculated through the engine intake.

Hi TT, thanks for that. I thought the crank breather would need to go to the manifold. Good point on the IVA issue. Will have to have a think about that. I have used one of those conical high flow filters so there is nowhere to connect the cam breather to. Do you reckon it would be ok to pipe it to where the servo pipe used to connect on the inlet manfold? I have a vacant hole there so may as well use it if I can.

I had an oil catch tank with a breather filter for iva and there was no comments about it. If you do use a filter make sure you use a catch tank so any oil residue doesnt end up clogging the filter and raising the pressure in the crankcase which may cause some premature oil leaks.

Flame traps are a good idea in any breathing system attached to inlet manifold's as a backfire could set fire to any vapour in the crankcase.
As Mark stated a catch tank is a good idea.
