I've managed to snap the small plastic pipe on the back of the inlet pipe that splits down to the crankcase breather!
Obviously I will now seek a samco as a replacement but as a temporary solution can I stick it down and silicon around it to prevent any air leaks?

 

its only a crank breather just wrap it in black insulation tape and dont put silicone near it. if any of that stuff gets in your engine boom

 

Thanks, trying to get fingers in that gap to wrap insulation tape is near impossible. Judging by how easily it broke this must happen any time anyone goes near it.
