Hello to one and all,
My '62 TR4 is a daily driver and gets about 300 miles a week put on her. A
while back (couple of weeks) I wrote to the list about the fact that my LBC
no longer leaks! Well she does now!
Backed out of the drive the other day and noticed a large, but not alarming,
spot of oil on the concrete. Oh well, it is a LBC after all.
Just went out to investigate this charicteristic activity and found that the
breather tube had fallen off and is now lost. So now the big question. I have
looked in all my catalogs and this part seems to be unavailible. I have always
thought that the PCV valve was a good thing, and now I must decide whether to
try and locate a breather tube or just convert to PCV.
What would be involved with converting this motor to PCV? Would it be as
simple as blocking off the breather hole, installing a PCV valve, and then
splitting off the tube and taking it to each carb?
I seem to remember reading something about this in this list before, but not
sure.
Latter,
