Cylinder Head Breather Grommet
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2019 6:42 am
I have owned my Elan Sprint for 4 years but it has been waiting in my garage for me to retire. I have finally got round to this and made a rookie mistake yesterday. While the carbs were off I couldn't resist trying to pull the leaking breather grommet from the cylinder head. It broke and fell inwards, fortunately it remained as a ring and i managed to skewer it, get a hooked wire through it and pulled it out through the hole intact.
I purchased a Cliveboy breather pipe ages ago which routes the breather to a catch tank. This pipe came with a hard white plastic seal which presses tightly into the the cylinder head. I also have a new black rubber type grommet, the question is do I fit the white plastic seal or black rubber grommet. Any views on which works best. Slightly worried the white plastic seal may move outwards since it seems to just be a press fit in the cylinder head hole.
