Hiya ppl...

wanna change the oil breather pipes that go back into the intake,,, so that they vent to the atmosphere to stop build up of oil... what size pipes do i need and where can i buy some from?????

 

Halfords. Will check the size and let you know.

Its a good idea to use large bore fuel hose as it won't collapse once warm. I have used reinforced clear hose but it gets soft when hot. I intend to upgrade it when I have time.

The breather pipes are just that, they let the engine breath and gases can flow both ways down the vent tubes. A blocked or collapsed breather can be bad for the engine.

QHazel Coolant hoses seem to be okay.

 

is thats the stuff u can get from halfords bob???

 

Yes. Let me just pop out and check the size for you though......

 

12.7mm

 

Also...a tip for when putting the foam on your car....

clean the i/c surface well (with brake cleaner of similar). Apply extra glue (lots of super glue will do) to the i/c. The foam stuff is already very sticky but I find it comes unstuck at high speeds. You'll need to then just layer one ontop of the other until you have a seal.
