Title: Engine breather pipe
Post by xr4s_r_ace on Apr 8^th, 2012, 5:24pm

Hi guys, still putting the engine back together and come across the breather pipe at the back of the engine which is connected to the inlet manifold via a tee piece and to the passenger cam cover. What, if anything does it connect to, looks like it has been left unconnected down the side of the engine on mine. Cheers pete.

sound like the end that is connected to the air box?

does it have a curve in it or straight?

its straight and there is no sign of a jubilee or any other clip mark. on the photos on the scorp web site the vac pipes page shows the pipe but dosent say what goes on the end of it. if it was just an engine breather i could understand it being to atmosphere but because it is also connected to inlet manifold it must connect into something else.
