No, my heads are unvented, and the breather is the OE 71. It fogs the town in the Summer too. And additionally, after Ive got all the drivers choking behind me when I hit the gas again there is a HUGE plume of blue smoke! Then it clears and all is well again. It was to the point that I would use notably more oil if I had a lot of slowdowns on the interstate. But in the last year or so its been better again.

I've seen that happen on early FI cars with the blue nylon "scrubber" in the breather box, but only on days below freezing, when the scrubber could freeze up with combustion moisture and prevent the engine from breathing. Do you have the 72-3 rocker box vents? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
