Any one know where I could find one of these?

My mini is suffering badly from a breathing problem ( relatively new built engine ), only has one crankcase breather on the clutch casing and timing cover is pissing oil out anyway. Could really do with one....

Any help would be appreiciated. No one I've contacted seems to have any with the breathers.

Cheers Ray.

Ray, do you have a rocker cover with the pipe for the breather hose like this?

(but without the wheels or driver)

If you want one, I have one somewhere you can have.

Thanks for the replies,

Awdmoke, yes I do have a very small breather connection on the rocker cover but it is only about a 4mm diameter hole in it. Nothing like the rocker cover you've pictured there.

Theminiman, are the a+ timing covers able to fit a 12YDXXXX morris 1100 block?

Ray, your cover is off an emissions controlled engine.

The restriction is just at the end. Cut the last centimetre off, or drill it out.
Will help it vent a little better.
