[TR] Fw: TR4A Crankcase Breather Valve

[Frank Fisher]

Cosmo and i where chatting recently and we discovered we have 2 similar but
different parts.
the manifold adapter (moss page 14 item #67) that Cosmo has
is just a straight through tube, while mine is a spring loaded one way valve.
crank case gas can go into my manifold but not come out.
what have the rest
you you TR4 owners got?
Frank

Check the diaghram.  I had one split on my MGB years ago and fixing it did 
a
world of good.
