Breather Cap on VR-VS 3.8lt???

[Frandy]

Hey guys,
I was just wondering, seen it on a few 5ltr's, a breather cap...
Firstly, what does it do??
Second, what does it go over??
Thirdly, would it fit on an EcoTec and would it be seen??

Anyone with a pic of one on an EcoTec or even a Buick 3.8??

Cheers :yeah:

Yeah, I am interested in this as well.. That was the exact one i was looking at as it was the only one to fit the large oil cap hole. I Was Just at the auto store as my mate just got a new one on his HZ 5lt.

What im worried about is that do these motors need a tight seal, eg oil cap??

When i have the cap on the motor makes a different noise to when i take the cap off?

Also i was told over time some oil could seep through, and that Johnny Law would not loo kindly at them..

I only want it as a Wank Spec item as its shiney alloy, will go good with the strut brace and colour coded engine bay!! :whistling

wont fit directly onto a stock v6 rocker cover, but will fit on the finned alloy ones, as i have one on mine, i got the "holden" finned covers.

they are there to allow crankcase fumes and such to vent, but the v6 uses a setup that makes it vent back into the intake system, for emissions laws. really isnt needed on a v6, but if you've got the finned rocker covers, go for it, or buy a second oilcap and cut a hole and mount one to that.

and yes, mr plod wont like it if they really want to sting you.

does it affect the engine at all with oil coming through or any think of that kind ( when i say that kind i mean any thing bad ) lol

 

[hakhawk]

you will get a bit of oil come out, but nothing to worry about.

lol i think ill leave mine the way god ( guy who makes holdens ) wanted it lol and save up for the big stuff getting every thing fixed and extreactors lol
Cheers Benji

yeh, thats the best way, only reason i got one on mine, was the cap that came with covers broke, and i needed something. now im gonna get a stock vn v8 one, see if it fits, looks the same twist on style

where did u get the finned alloy ones from?? Did they cost much?? And would they bolt straight onto the Ecotec??
