[TR] TR4 Valve cover vent

[Lee&John Howard]

Hi all

Thanks to much help from this list, the rebuilt engine with Webers is
running strong. A question remains as to what to do with the venting gases
from the valve cover. The Stromberg carb setup, of course, recycled them
back into the air cleaners. When I got this car, the p.o. had a stainless
braid hose dangling down and behind the carbs.

As a start, I have a hose connected to a tap in the intake manifold, but
since that is behind one carb that is surely unbalancing the cards and
screwing up the mixture. I have thought of replacing this late tr4 cover
with the earlier style that has a large rear vertical exhaust pipe with some
sort of filter on top. But this is a less green solution than a recycle.

OTOH, I'm already less green since I installed the early style crankcase
vent down pipe to relieve crankcase pressure and hopefully thereby to reduce
the dreaded driveway drip. That does seem to have helped.

Any suggestions?
