wanted: PUSH IN BREATHER(S) 2
« on: October 06, 2010, 08:41:36 pm »
Im chasing 2 push in breathers for my Ford Motorsport 351w valve covers.
The OD is approx 33-34mm.
Most of the breathers on the market are 1.25" or 31-32mm. There is f*ck-all in it, but my breathers keep falling off.

Can you get different size grommets? Just a thought!

I haven't mucked around with grommets yet, but its next on the "trial" list.
I just thought that there would have to be a 34mm push in breather out there. But apparantly not?

Don't plumbers have tools to expand pipes of that size??  Might help!

dunrite66: Its annoying, isn't it? Ive tried the electrical tape but it keeps coming off and Im worried that it will work its way into the heads.

EXHAUSTED: I never considered making the shaft on the breather bigger. Wont I have problems with the grommet? You see, the problem appears to be with the grommet being too small.

Ive got a set of billet breathers coming from Earls, will see how they go.
