buick special Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hi Guys I saw a few posts on people cleaning their breather units on their motors Does a 1940 straight 8 motor's breather unit or tube require any cleaning or maintenance?

FLYER15015 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I took mine off when we first got the "Baby", just to look at the pushrods and lifters. Found 3 bent push rods and replaced them. Did not clean the big breather tube, but sometimes I think I should hang a "Depends" (adult diaper) under it. Mike in Colorado PS; The distributor oil leak you see has been fixed, with a big "O" ring under flange, in place of the OEM cork gasket.
