Re: [T3] Breather tube rubber valve

Thanks a million Dave! I'm glad you found your memory again ;-) 2 weekends
ago I re-installed my engine with the new Ps & Cs and valves and decided it
would be prudent to sort that valve out too as it seemed like a straight
through path to the internals for dirt (but as Russ pointed out- shouldn't
be)

BTW I didn't post already about the newly rebuilt (top end anyway) engine
because I was too pessimistic that something would go wrong, but touch wood
it seems to be settling in fine and its such a difference- the car is young
and sprightly once more and feels about half the weight it used to be! I've
still got a bit of a loping idle though and some worrying knocking/tapping
while it warms up but I'll adjust the valves again tomorrow and oil-change
and retune and hopefully that will sort it out.

Thanks again Dave and all for the advice,

Mark Seaton,
'73 Fasty, London
