Hey guys i have a silvertop engine and have been noticing over the past few weeks that the rocket cover is getting covered in black film, today i was doing a oil and filter change when i noticed whats the cause it looks like a recerulation valve or something along those lines to me could be completly wrong, but it looks like it has blown a hose of, i took some pictures with my phone but its not letting me upload them, its the circle part ontop of the rocker clover closest to the firewall
May need to fit a catch can and/or block EGR
It's a silver top... There is no egr and if it is leaking from there a catch can is going to do squat.Quote:

No worries mate thanks for the reply, so its only meant to have the one hose connected to it even though there is two oulets?
Where's the second outlet?
Why is there a second outlet? Is the second one just open?
Can you take another pic from the other side.
Here's mine...

That hose in the first pic should be on that barb. Also as Ben-e said it might be worth giving it a good clean before reconnecting.
Have a look at the top view photo Matt...very strange.Quote:

Yea thanks fellas next time i should see if the hose is actually connected to anything, ill hook her up in the morning anyone no why it could of popped off?
Interesting, as I have a hose coming from the back as well that just goes nowhere, will put up a photo tomorrow
As Benny said it could be blocked so you could take it off completely and blow some air down first.Quote:

When you get a chance Doggy can you take a wider shot....lol....Looks like someone has literally chewed that hose off.
It generally goes back into the intake on the suction side of the turbo. Or you can leave it venting to atmosphere. It's your crankcase breather.
