Neil Clark Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 The oil breather cap on the Mk1 1147 rocker cover - is the mesh inside removable for cleaning or do I just flush it with petrol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Not easily removable. Never found petrol to be good at cleaning oily stuff. Better is white spirit, so leave it in a mug of white spirit overnight, swish it about etc and see if it gets it good and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
