After advise on A+ 1275 into a '61 850. I'm running twin SU carbies. Should I use the A+ rocker cover with breather in oil cap or 850 cover with pipe? What to do with breather that bolts onto gearbox clutch housing? Should I run the 850 timing case without breather??? Also I have original cooper s twin SU air filter that has a pipe that looks like it connects to 850 rocker cover pipe??? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

other than screwing with a '61 850 that I don't like the sound of... You should probably install a PCV and let the engine breathe into the manifold, otherwise the below applies to the breather tube in the air cleaner Quote: 1/ Should I use the A+ rocker cover with breather in oil cap or 850 cover with pipe? 2/ What to do with breather that bolts onto gearbox clutch housing? 3/ Should I run the 850 timing case without breather??? 1/ use the A+ rocker cover 2/ run it to a T piece with the breather on the A+ timing case and into the air cleaner or PCV 3/ definitely not... the A+ engine has a tensioner under there (I think), and the 850 cover won't have enough clearance for the double row timing chain |

You will need to flatten the A+ timing cover breather to clear the fan, in a roundy body. |
