back pressure in rocker cover.
« on: 29 November 2007, 20:53:47 »
hi all,
help please???,i have just found while checking the oil and filler neck for mayo,and there was a fair amoumt.
just after turning the engine off that when you remove the oil filler cap there is a presure build up i guess this is due to the oil breather being blocked or is there somthing else it could be?,
also could any body tell me where thay are?
sorry for being a pain.many thanks.

Sounds like the breathers are totally blocked to me. Have a look in the howto section for details. It needs to be done ASAP before the cam cover gaskets fail.

the Mayo in your filler cap mate can be caused by cheap oil. Fit a new filter, and new oil Vauxhall's own is very good and not to dear either..
This is your breather Body behind the drivers side Cam Cover, a small hole that a pin or needle will clear, the other is bigger (i used a screwdriver). If your using Carb Cleaner when cleaning out the Breather Body, Change your oil after
