Greetings all,
I am currently building a crossflow powered Locost and have rebuilt the engine with gasflowed head hot cam ect.
My prob is that I sourced the motor from a sierra(Here in S.A. the sierra used the crossflow motor up to'89) and the crankcase ventilation system is different to the norm for a crossflow, in that it does not make use of the standard collector/one way valve as per the escort set up.
Instead the oil cap has three connections one of which looks like a vent, I pressume the two remaining go to either the manifold and air cleaner.
Also the opposite the dipstick is a vent which I have been told should incorperate a pressure controll valve.
My problem is that I have no idea which connection goes where and if the info I have is correct or a load of B.S.
Please help

Hi and welcome to the forum i have just had a breathing problem on my crossflow and followed the advice on this site try there for a start.

A few pictures would be good so we could get a general idea of what you mean,

Did you manage to sort it out??

Thanks for the link Barrie, but at the mo I am not running twin Weber's I will be using a single 38DGAV(here in SA side drafts are scarce as are the manifolds) so I can still use the exsisting intake manifold conection to provide suction, the set up I have looks pretty neat hence the reason for me trying to keep it. Just need to get it sorted I will try and post some pics

Cheers
