[Nobbc] Removal of breather pipe? MGA

[Mark Darley]

It has been suggested to me that removing the breather pipe on the  
MGA will reduce the oil burned, and also that I should exchange the  
oil cap for a vented one.

What is the logic on the breather pipe removal?  Is it simply that  
oil in the rocker cover will then not get sucked into the carbs?

If I remove the pipe will I not have the under side of the bonnet  
covered in a fine mist of oil? Doesn't sound attractive.

General loss of oil has been much improved by simply tightening  
everything I could get my hands on!

The car is running much better for valve and float adjustment.

Thanks
Mark
