If I were you, and obviously I'm not, I would try cleaning it with your "garden variety" carb cleaner. As for the parts supplement that I think you're refering to, publication No.6601131, concering

Hence my question, orginally. What solvents do others use for these purposes? Obviously, carburettor cleaner means what it says, but what of the rest? I didn't mean this to be so significant, but it

Carb cleaner will do just fine, and it won't hurt the hoses. The mesh they are talking about is inside the oil filler entry cap on the left valve cover. Per my previous note, the PVC valve, hose, an

I found that Safety Brake Clean works good for cleaning stuff like this. I instantly dissolves the crud which then runs out like water. It comes in a spray can and evaporates dry to the touch in seco

The original pcv was routed directly to manifold vaccum under the carb via a spacer. This is the original Ford setup and was used on "The Tiger". I still have actual color pictures of an genuine tige

I never had a Tiger, but the alpine and other cars have a similar system. I just always used a coffee can with Gas in it. No Smoking Please !! That's what I did, and i'm still alive to talk about it,

Used the old "try a toothbrush" trick. Did end up with clean parts. If your using a used toothbrush you've got to make sure the left-over toothpaste is flouride, otherwise you'll get cavities in you

'Course this begs the question: Is the valve blocked? Have you tried to pull air through it, as by sucking on it? If it is, take it apart, dump it in a small sealed container of lacquer thinner and l

Sorry to say, I AM an originality freak (within reason). By that I mean that if the original can be made to work then I will use it. So I did dismantle and clean my PCV valve. It was not completely c

If you have lots of blow by, switch to a heavier oil with a sticky oil additive. I used bulk 50wt oil and 2 cans of STP in my old alpine when it was really sucking it up with just regular 20-50wt. It

Rick, I'd try nose plugs for awhile. This could put off the rebuild until the smoke gets so bad you can't see. When that happens a fan could be installed to keep the smoke going backwards away from y

Anyone remember what they have been using to clean their PCV valve and oil filler cap? I believe that I should use carb cleaner for the PCV parts, but the shop manual suggests a less volatile cleaner

I don't think you quite understand, Roland. This is an original Tiger PCV, the kind that disassembles for cleaning. Same goes for the oil filler cap, which has no connection with the air cleaner (as
