engine and drivetrain Crankcase Breather

[Bwanadyk]

HI,

 

I'm in the process of building up a 2002 engine, using my existing head and single carb, but onto another bottom end. This new (used) block, which I think is from a tii, has a crankcase breather just above the dip-stick hole, which is not on my old block. Does anyone know if it's OK to just block this off, or should I connect it to somewhere ?

 

All suggestions gratefully received............

The hole you are looking at is the return line for the K-fish injection pump.  You can block it off.  G

block it.

Out of curiosity, what's the VIN stamped on the block?

[Bwanadyk]

Just to confuse the issue, the vin is 4-271-008, which my book says is a '75 year, RHD Auto. ( I'm in the UK ).

My VIN decoder (BMW 2002 Club of Columbia) comes to the same answer!

Maybe you could or should post a photo. Could the motor have been previously re-purposed for a tii setup?

Yeah Steve, I reckon it's had quite a life !

 

Thank you all for the heads up on my problem.

I'll just block the vent and carry on regardless.
