Title: Question about blockoffs, which I've just mounted
Post by: PlaynInPeoria on July 13, 2011, 09:20:44 PM
A friend looked at them and said "How does the crankcase vent?  That's one of the benefits of the air system you took off".

I honestly couldn't answer him. I know just about everybody does that mod, I did it and love it, just for the clean look and ease of doing stuff under the tank.  But his question is valid, how does the crankcase vent?

Via the tube that goes into the airbox.

The system you removed to install those blockoff plates has NOTHING to do with the crankcase vent system. Those valves you removed ONLY supplied air to the exhaust ports to help burn any unburned fuel to make the exhaust a little cleaner, or appear to be a little cleaner. The crankcase vent is a little tube that goes from the top of the trans to the bottom of the air cleaner housing.

Pfft.  I start work at 11:45pm and don't get out until 8am.  Although they don't let me have internet access while inside...

Correct question for me would have been..... What time do you get home after work?.....
Answer: Pretty early....
