I've been reading the messages about crankcase ventilation, PCV valves, holes in oil fill caps, and am now completely confused. I have a 1275 (12CD-DA-H 9590) and simply have a hose coming from the

I have a 63 mkII sprite with no pollution crud and, what I believe to be, its original pcv system intact. It consists of a stiff hose coming 6 inches vertically up from the centre of the intake manif

A PCV system would definitely help to reduce your rear oil leak. I saw it on my car first hand. It will not hurt performance. SInce the original PCV valve is hard to find, you may want to adapt a di

On the advice of a highly respected race engine builder / mechanical engineer, I left my cap closed, with leak-free success. Based on a post by Peter Samaroo, I then instead used an unconnected (on m

That sounds like the PCV set-up from a '67 1275. Your '63 shouldn't have an oil separator on the front cover if it has the original engine. If it has a '67 1275, that's a good thing, in my opinion. P

My brother tells me that pcv, i.e sucking the crankcase vapours through the combustion chambers lowers the octane of the charge burnt...I don't know how true this is, I use my pcv, It's just that you

If your '63 has this type of PCV, it ain't original, or it ain't a '63. ('63s have a 1098cc engine with mechanical fuel pump and a hose going from the valve cover to the front air cleaner only. No ot

I know that it's not the original motor. as the engine # 10CCDAHxxxxx preferable to the 10CG though, did the later 1100's have the pcv that I described? Andy

Yes, from '64 to '66, all the 1098cc engines had the PCV that you described. Bob --Original Message-- From: Andy Webster <trunkie@hotmail.com> To: boxweed@thebest.net <boxweed@thebest.net> Cc: spridg
