Can anyone tell me the history of why Triumph removed the crankcase vent at one time? At least I think they did, or my engine just doesn't have one. It has the usual tubes running from the top of the valve cover to each air filter, but no crank case vent at the rear of the block like is shown in the Triumph factory manual.
I removed the PCV tubes running from the top if the valve cover today, I guess that’s what they are, when I was cleaning the engine area and noticed they were clogged with a gooey puss like substance, not at all unlike the plaque removed from clogged arteries. So I cleaned them out.
Is there any way to run this car without these things? I realize you need to vent the crankcase some type of way, so can you install a crankcase vent where it used to be and do away with the valve cover to carb setup?
