Spridgeteers,

The 1275 in my Mk3 Sprite came with a vented oil filler cap and no 
PCV system (i.e., no tube from the front separator/breather on the 
timing chain cover, no valve sitting on top of the intake manifold). 
I've now added a cobbled PVC system and was wondering if I need to 
switch to a non-vented oil filler cap. That is, what did the 1275 
egnines with PVC valves connected to the middle of the intake 
manifold have: vented or unvented caps?

TIA,

Jeff
