Then the 5/16” hose attaches a 1/8” x ¼” brass fitting with a hose clamp from the parts store I installed into the small opening on the intake manifold to the right of the large opening for the brake booster.  No leakage and strong negative pressure have reduced my oil leaks into the bell housing and the clutch dramatically.

Subject: [Healeys] PCV valve installation  Listers,

Attempting to install a PCV valve on our tri-carb engine per Norm Nock's Tech Tip (page 98).  Made an adapter (5/8"-18 to 3/8" barb) that replaces the plug in the front inlet manifold.  3/8" hose to the PCV valve.  Two questions:

1) Does the PCV valve need to be orientated in a particular way?  Norm's diagram shows it horizontal and I have seen them on non-Healeys vertical (engine side down).

2) The valve cover tee is 5/8" diameter, the engine side of the PCV valve is 1/2".  Anyone know of a short hose with different diameters on each end?

Thanks.

  Cheers,  Bob HaskellAustin Healey 3000 BN7/BT7 registrar_______________________________________________
