Air cap for L31 - which type?
Putting a list together of parts I need on this new L31 and the breather cap came up. I was looking for a push in style cap that was black and Im seeing options that have open looking filters and some with just a cap and some with a PCV stem. Is there a best way to go or are they all the same more/less?
https://www.proformparts.com/product...ameter-no-logo I also wondered about the open filter type and how they may get gummed up and whether or not its a a replacement of the whole thing or can you replace the paper filter? |

Reason I asked was to see if your air cleaner has a barb on the bottom to hook a breather hose to.
If not just pic a normal breather that fits your grommet that matches the look of your air cleaner. The open element style can look grungy after awhile. |

Thanks Geezer, there are some parts that look like I could hook a hose up if I wanted. Does this help the engine run better?

That’s the hook up for a breather hose.
I’ve used them before with a couple of plastic 90 degree elbows and some 5/8 inch hose. Run to the grommet in the valve cover. You can use just a breather if you want. All you’re looking for is filtered air into your motor to combine with the fumes and out the other cover with the pcv valve. |
