I keep putting up a thread and it gets moved all the time.

Anyway, the simota IK arrived yesterday and im in the middle of fitting it now.

Ive had a couple of problems and i need some help. I have noticed that the hose that connects to engine doesnt have a hole for the oil breather to fit. Well i think its the oil breather, its a pipe that comes from behind the engine that connects to the air filter hose to cool down something.

Is there anything i can do? Also im starting to doubt its specifically for the 172, it might be universal.

Let me know what you would do.

Thanks.

you can buy an oil breather hose for around £10-£20 but will be a little messy in the future or get the correct pipe with the adaptor on it prob best bet

Ive been looking at a few pictures on here and you cant seem what some people have done with the pipe. Do you recomend that i get a oil filter from halfords or somewhere?

What do people do when they by the Samco hoses?

IIRC Hill Power do the silicon Elbow that has the connection for the oil breather.

Might be better to sniff one of those out.

Yeh ok, But for the time being could i just put a oil filter on it for 5 days or so, would it do any harm.

no it wont ull just get an oily smell from the front and might weep a little but should be fine had 1 on another car i had for around 8 months.
you need this seems a bit expensive to me but i wouldnt know

What do you think this chap has done??


Because his hose is like mine with no where for the oil brether to go.

either need to vent it to atmosphere with crankcase breather OR buy another silicon elbow with pipe
