Breather kit not working?

[serrow]

Got a question for you all. I have a breather kit installed on the Forcewinder and i notice a small inch long oil stain near the breather bolt on the front cylinder. I also have a Lower rocker box leak on this cylinder so it is going to be getting some attention.

the question i have is whether or not its a problem that the breather seems to not be working, or i may be missing a washer here or there. If the breather is so stuck up that the gases are being forced out the assembly, what kinda trouble might i be in for?

I could use your help here. Would you suggest a new better performing breather kit? I checked the filter at the end of the line and it seems dry. not sure how much oil is supposed to accumulate here.

Well if the bolt is leaking I would ask did you use blue loctite on the threads?? As it not only stops it from coming loose it acts as a sealant

good point. im gonna re-do the setup. was thinking of going with a NESS BIG SUCKER to get better flow than the forcewinder and eliminate the ugly breather tubes. forcewinder should grab a bit on ebay to help compensate

HMMM does your force winder point forward and able to point up?? If so let me know I need one to powder coat black. Maybe we can make a deal on some used parts?? Drop me aline.

so what about these washer kits? based on what's here, do these seal better? better? what xactly do they do to work betteR?


I know my bracket had some funky looking washers, but their diameter was too small so i used what i had previously.

With the "chrome breather tube" the front breather/bolt & washers is where the leak will occur...Don't overtighten the bolts.

I went with the "bango" fittings and plumbed the hoses down and to the rear, to the front will work also.
