Throttle body breather hose 172 Ph. 2

[Henry22]

Has anyone removed the breather hose that comes from the rocker cover into the inlet hose just before the throttle body? I was thinking of re-routing it to a filter on a longer bit of hose, away from the exhaust somewhere, as the only thing it really does it pump hot air into the inlet! - Any takes on this?

Also while im at it, what spark plugs are people using for 172's? Platinums? Normals? Part numbers and prices?

Cheers

Henry

More than just pumping hot air in, if there is much oil vapour being "breathed" this will go in and effectively lower the octane of the fuel you put in, so wasting the super-unleaded we get raped for. A breather filter, or better still a good quality catch tank is a good idea
