Hi,
I am thinking about doing diff and transmission breathers, and doing bit of reading about it on the net. There are some good threads about it here on the forum, using kits, or home made stuff. However on another forum I have come across an idea which suggests, tapping tire valve stems into the air box (in the clean section), and connecting the breathers to that.
I rather like the idea, as it solves the issue of any filters, and also it gives me the same height of the breathers as my snorkel.
However is it a good idea technically? I am not too keen to drill holes into my air box to start with, and then any faults in the connections, and in the hoses back to the diffs or trans are potential intakes of unclean air/or worse into the engine.
Another bit I am not sure about is (it might be silly thought, but I have little knowledge when it comes to this), would not the engine try to suck the air out of my diffs and transmission, and thus suck in the oil, or there is not enough pressure for this?
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated
