Hi all
Sorry to bring this up again but after reading every post I could find on crankcase breathers I'm more confused than ever.
I have a 1968 commando engine # 20M3/1283##. I have the motor completely stripped and I want to fit an updated breather as I understand that the timed breather is not up to the job?
What I want to know is if anyone has modified this type of engine with positive results. What holes to blank, what to drill, etc.
The bike will be used as a street bike for "daily" use so will not be thrashed too often. I also want to keep the "look" of the bike standard.... Love the fastback look.
As this set up has the points at the back of the timing case I won't be able to use that as a location for the breather.
The other thing is I live in the UAE so sending the cases to someone for machining is out of the question but I do have access to a comprehensive machine shop.
Thanks
Dean.
