I have read various things about blanking the EGR stuff on 24 valve engines, so, is there any need for the breather pipe from the rocker cover to go into the air intake as the standard setup is on a 12 valve?
Would it make any difference if the breather was disconnected, the hole in the air filter box blanked off & the breather run to just vent to the atmosphere.
I realise that there may be some oil fumes coming out of the breather pipe, so it could be run into a catch pot if neccesarry.
Any thoughts on the advantages or disadvantages, surely it must be better to stop 'dirty fumey' gasses entering the inlet manifold? Or does it help the engine breathe by sucking out the fumes from the top?
