[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 103896, member: 2879"] While I am going to use the standard timed breather on my Comet project, and will use the information in this thread to some advantage, my use of an HD solenoid type compression release makes the valve lifter mechanism unnecessary. I have to plug the timing case exit point for it now and I am considering using a duckbill type breather tube there instead of a solid plug. That seems to be the cheapest and simplest version of a breather around. Has anyone used this port for a breather and does it make any sense? I know that when used as intended it is a prime area for oil leaks without some care being taken, perhaps from oil being thrown off the large idler. It's out of the way location is nice since it is not obvious, though in my case the access is very tight due to the gearbox mounting method I used.
