Re: [Chevelle-List] Engine breathers

[Kent Lewis]

Jeff asked:     Is the internal canister breather part of the breather on the back of the block?  Yes, the "canister" which looks like a small pop can is the breather for the engine and is used with the tube on the back of the block.   If not can I block the breather at the back of the block? As long as I have the breathers in the valve cover? Yes,  you can remove the tube and use a plug of the appropriate size to fill the hole.  As long as you use a valve cover breather system, you'll be fine.  As far as the pop can breather in the lifter valley, you can remove it, or leave it in place - won't hurt anything.    Kent '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 :) ACES #5102
