Another stupid question, sorry  :-[ The breather box itself has two inlets from the crank side judging by the pics.
Are those two inlets connected to different "chambers" or both to the same chamber? I hope you understand what I'm trying to say ....Is bottom of the breather box divided in two inlets because there are two different system under it that need each their own breather (one with rubber flap and one without) or are those two connected to one chamber... Damn sorry that's just the only way I can ask what I want to know... :-[

Clean, but does it flow air.

Can it be blown through? Block one and blow through the other. Etc

Big one looks like it's been cleared out? Was it blocked?


[Edit to add. Shit there's two more pages I have missed. I meant in response to your last pics.]

You might need to remove the breather box from behind cylinder 5. Then check it's clear inside.

Air flows, if I block small tube and one of the "Y" part and blow into it air comes out trough oil dipstick tube without any difficulties. So I guess it's not blocked. And by looking into the back of the engine bay today I rrally can't imagine how could I remove breather box. I could only see one bolt there other three were hidden very good :'(
 And I even managed to squeeze 10 inch of strong wire into it with some struggling due to inside of breather box. Wire was strong enough not to wind down at the bottom of the box.

The breather box does come out. As Daz advised me when I had to remove mine, the heat shield is covering the second bolt, but heat shield is very easy to bend out of the way, so you can get to the second bolt.

You will need to remove the scuttle, a magnet on a stick and some grey sealant for refitting, as used on the oil cooler cover plate. I have some here but it's old.

But.... If you can blow through the breather box that should be enough, I would of thought.


Is the Eco tech box clear to blow through in the same way? Has it been removed and inspected with cleared pin holes into the plenum? Apologies if you said so before.

Ecotec breather is flushed and clean, suction can be felt on small middle tubes when engine is running so I think that's ok

Ok. If that's all done, then question for all.


Does that leave badly fitted seals. Or engine producing too much crank case pressure?

Anything else?

I fitted aftermarket gasket the same one twice - always leaking badly. Then I bought gm gasket and o rings, fitted first time started leaking after motorway run then was leaking constantly. After that I cleaned breathers again, and repeated the procedure for forth time all together.
This time gasket holds short journeys or let's say it holds when I drive with a brick under gas pedal. When I go to motorway it's all fine , no performance problem ar anything untill I stop and then smell of burnt oil enters the cabin and I get two pillars of smoke from under the bonnet one on each side >:(
I don't know why gaskets don't hold on motorway

When crap an gunk is poked down into the breather box say over a few years im guessing that it is possible for all that crap to accumulate and eventually block totally  :-\ I would have a go at taking it off and give it a good soak and clear out just to rule it out  :)

I think of that too EMD. I came from work minutes ago, done some 7 miles of mixed driving and no smell of oil came into the cabin, no smoke oit of engine bay.
But tommorow at 2am I need to go to work agin, this time 40 miles away. I'll try not to be hard on miggy on motorway, hoping maybe it settles down a bit.... :-[ Hoping for a miracle i know but I will deffinately take off breather box when  (I have fealling I'll need to) I'll be doing rocker gasket again
