- When you say 'when the car is stopped', d'you mean with the engine off? That makes a difference, especially if the car is fitted with a vaccuum-assist brake booster. It's not normal if the car is ru

- On some cars (My Midget leaps to mind), blowby and other gases and pressure are eliminated from the crankcase through a breather in (for instance) the front timing cover or tappet cover. The breather

- No, the brakes don't spin freely while I am pushing on the brake... I do agree that would be a bad situation <g> That's sounds like what I have... the hose in question is what I believe is the retur

- Exactly. The copper hose is supposed to run behind the vacuum riser for the pcv valve, and bolts down to a couple of the "spare" bolts that are run into the top of the intake manifold. This arrangeme
