Thread: Crankcase breather hitting wastegate

Hey guys, I was bored yesterday so I decided to start mocking up my t25 setup. When I went to bolt the manifold on, the wastgate wouldn't clear the crankcase breather on the right side of the block. Just wondering what some of you guys did to get around this. Tried looking at some pics, but couldn't find anything that would help me. It's a bluebird setup btw. Thanks.

i didnt have that problem with mine. i did notice that it wouldn't clear on my VE.

Can't you turn it? (crankcase breather)

=D

rr valve cover a ditch the ugly oil seperator and assembly.

on my highport i just put a socket extension in it and bent it towards the tranny.

Stuck a metal tube over it and bent it over out of the way.

had to do it on a couple motors. It all depends on the year of the motor. Some have longer tubes that point upwards and some have the shorter ones. Either way i just take a 3/8 drive extension and bend it where i need it. Problem solved.

Yup. ditch the stock seperator and use an extension or whatever you want to bend it out of your way.

Alright guys thanks. I figured it was easiest to bend it out of the way, just needed some second opinions. Thanks again.
