[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 29158, member: 433"] My brother used the system described by Ian but with the stainless pipe. I liked the looks much more than those with the rubber hose. The drawback was the stainless pipe somehow amplifying the sound of the plastic ball going up and down. It certainly added a new timbre to the percussion band playing in the timing chest. well at least at tickover, higher up the rev range the the ususal clatter took the lead. good news was that the engine was oiltight and dry like a desert. something else, I just received a phonecall from a friend who fitted the Neal Videan gasket sets to his cylinder heads oilfeeds / gallery. after two years of fiddling these gaskets stopped all leaks from the top instantly. he really praises those items and is actually over the moon with the result. According to him the very best value for money upgrade you can get. Bernd [/QUOTE]
