[slammedresto]

Leaky CB Breather tower on my engine, pain in the arse, anyone have any tips, its been suggested in put some grease on the seal to reseal it!!!!!!!!

any ideas

Hi Gary, the grease doesn't seal it. It holds it in place, preventing it from moving as you tighten up.

Could always give it a dose of that blue liquid gasket seal stuff that rubberises after a few hours, im sure that will work if some is applied to the threads 8)

Pat from CB told me if you plum into the top of the air filters you get rid of the smell in your engine bay and do a little bit for the enviroment (dont think 20 mile to the gallon dose to much good) have you vented the rocker covers?
