Hello all,
My 1934 Box is putting out a large amount of fumes from the valve chest cover, to the extent that it is becoming quite unpleasant (and probably unhealthy) to drive even with all windows down/open and the roof slid back.
Firstly, does the amount coming out indicate an issue with the engine? None of my other 7s kick out anywhere near as many fumes from there, so I suspect there's something a bit off, although it is otherwise driving well.
Secondly, if I modify the valve chest cover with an outlet pipe to take the fumes away, do I just route it out of the bottom of the engine bay, or is there any other another generally accepted way of routing it?
Thanks!
