That breather should just have a hose that comes out its right side and releases any gasses into the intake air to be burned. Try blowing in that hose just to make sure that the whole breather is clear. If that hose is blocked off you will have problems with pressure buildup. It's more likely that your valve cover gaskets are the cheap thin ones, or that your wire bails are bent and aren't clamping tightly. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
