I drilled and tapped the old mechanical fuel pump blank (cover), installed a
fitting to which a copper tube was connected. Ran the copper tube to a "t"
which connected it to the breather tube coming off the valve cover, then the
other side of the "t" into a collection container. The collection container is
the old brass tank that used to be part of the cooling system. I installed a
Spitfire filler neck one the thermostat housing and eliminated the troublesome
brass tank from the cooling system, while making the syste MUCH easier to fill
and check.
I still have lots of oil leakage, but it couldn't be from excess pressure,
since both top and bottom ends of my engine are vented.
