> Hello my friendly type3 listees, > I have this little problem of the crankcase breather cap popping out. > I bought a new one thinking the old one did not snap in real tight. > The new one does the same thing. Does anyone else have this problem? I had this problem, but I put an O-ring around the part that presses in and now it is tight , but not to tight. > Thanks all, > jesse > 71 fi squareback > Ps.

I thought this wasn't very serious and tried to start the car without adjusting the valves. Every time it wouldn't want to start and when it did it would run on two cylinders. I adjusted the valves and it started right up and ran fine, except for a few backfires because of my swiss-cheese exhaust. Just goes to show that valve adjustment is very important.
