phil Dean Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Is there ant technical reason why I can't turn the rocker box round by 180 Degrees. I know the oil breather tube is on the left looking back from the front of the car but my car is not fitted with Emission Control valve. In fact the take of on the manifold for this is now used for the vacuum to the servo. The reason I wish to turn the rocker box round I want to fit a oil catch tank and the best place I can find without it being in the way of something else is on the bulk head next to the the right hand side of the battery looking from the front back. The only reason I can think of at the moment the rocker box to the block is about the only place that doesn't leak on that engine. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Weve been here before, it wont fit as the studs to hold the cover are offset. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR4Tony VC Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Hi Phil Drill a hole in the cover and insert a threaded outlet with a load spreader inside - this will give you a left hand outlet. Just make sure you locktite it in place, otherwise it will work lose and destroy your valve gear - ask me how I know ! Regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phil Dean Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 I have already done it Tony a bit of a compromise tho. I didn't want to remove the alloy rocker box cover until necessary as at the moment it doesn't leak. i already had the cheapo oil catch tank and made a bracket to suit. will monitor see how quickly it fills up.
