[Breather valve lid]

Hi everyone thanks alot for all your help but im pretty sure i have found my problem the piston connected to the diaphram isnt pushing onto the little plate releasing the pressure so im am going to buy and new smiths valve thanks again 👍

Where is oil spurting out?, unusual to have that much at the top unless as Pete said the breather is completely blocked. Does it smoke from the exhaust?.

Might be worth a compression test.

Where the dipstick is it starts to bubble over the if you remove the dipstick it srays out. The exhaust is smokey until it warms like usual. But yeah im jsut going to do a compression test and hope for the best. thanks alot 👍

inside the rocker cover there is normally a gauze filter surrounding the breather outlet  these get blocked solid and need its suport cadge pirying open remove and wash the filter

on the worst option the engine is in need of new rings etc   

any doubts about the smiths valve i would delete it and pipe the breather open  to atmosphere as a test

Pete

edit  might be worth calibrating the dip stick  not unusual that the marks give an overfill 

 

Im going to go in for a compression test then hope for the best and will take this into consideration if all comes back good cheers mate 👍

But im pretty sure its a build up of pressure because whilst running and i take off the oil cap there is a release of pressure

There will likely be a braided pipe coming from near the oil pressure switch above the filter which goes to a banjo bolt on the back of the cylinder head.

If not get a photo of the whole engine from the side.

Steve

I cant see a braided wire anywhere but heres the photo

Does it have an external oil feed on the back of the head?, this can cause too much oil in the top of the engine.

Unnecessary on most engines.

Steve

Sorry but whats a external oil feeder i still learning my way around the car 👍

I see you have HS6 carbs on a Long tract manifold,is this a 2.5 engine?,  if not I would remove the little filter and put it back to standard.

Steve

Its a 2.0 litre and i have removed the filter and replaced the breather but oil is spurting out

the manifold has vacuum  no pressure    if oil spouts out the dipstick then the breathing is blocked 

then the small breather filter on the rocker cover output is useless as thats all you seem to have as a breather  ????

in the photo your smiths valve is not connected to the rocker breather at all just screwed into the manifold with open pipes 

its not doing anything to aid breathing 

Pete

Yes i have changed this by replacing the top of the breather back on but oil is still spurting out.

as the valve appears to be disconnected from any breather hoses you could remove it and blank the port in the manifold 

Pete

Hi have tried this but pressure was building up in the manifold and causing the oil to come out of the oil dipper

Hi ive got a Vitesse built by my grandad so it has some parts swapped between different triumphs but whilst driving it the breather valve lid fell off and I've been having problems with it ever since as the first time i put to the bottom of a can on top but it kept the diaphragm from moving so im double checking that i need to make it fit over the whole thing or the inner rim. Also is a whole in it necessary. In the photo i tried recommended by someone but let in too much air.
