Hi List!
    How does the crankcase vent up to the valve cover?       
I was at our local car club meeting last night & one MG person is having 
a problem with with his car. From what I understand, he removed all the 
pollution control stuff :-\ . He has a 1500 engine, which is the 
Spitfire engine. He has the tube coming out of the Valve Cover (VC), 
making a "Y", & each tube end goes into each carb. This set up sounds 
like the 1st pollution control that was done on the TR4 engine after the 
lower case venting tube was removed. Then later, in the TR4/A engine, 
was added the PVC Valve. We were talking about the engine venting & I 
would like the input from this list as to how the crank case venting 
gases pressure gets from the lower crank case up to the VC to then go 
out the tube & into the carbs?
