Default How did you...

Just completed my crankcase breather re-route, was pretty easy, took a ride, noticed it held back a little. Now sitting here at work, I just realized I never plugged the holes in the intake plate where I pulled the original hoses out of, Doh! That's probly my reason why it feels a slight different. What did you guys use to plug those holes? Silicon?


Thanks for you help guys...

I used a couple of bolts, washers and nuts. Sealed it all up with silicon and tightened the bolt up. Works well.

I left mine open... i drilled the aluminum backplate and tapped for pipe, installed (2)45 degree pipe street elbows with barbed hose fittings. Ran rubber hose between front and back to a tee and again from tee down to breather ASM. Basically the oil is heavier than air, falls to the bottom and is drained off to the bottom.

Thanks EastTex!!




Thanks guys, yes I got the set up all done, was easy. just over looked to plug up the open holes in my air cleaner back plate. I wasn't sure if you had a good solid way to plug them other than silicone

We have have had people use jb weld or just a rubber plug, but you can do what ever way is best for you
