Looks like a clean install to me (I like the 'aftermarket' heat
shield; I have one made for a 100M on the shelf if I do get around
to installing PCV on my BN2). How did you seal up the road draft
tube? Any noticeable effect on oil consumption/drips?).<br>

oil suction pumps. So, what does it reveal?<br>

<div> I started with the BCS kit, so I have the
sealing washer on the dipstick, and I put a screw in
the hole in the oil filler cap (I didn't think
solder would stick on the oily cap, and I wanted
'reversible' at the time). At idle, you can feel a
vacuum if you put the palm of your hand over the oil
filler hole (haven't tried it on the highway).<br>

already done a PCV install advice appreciated.<br>
