[DC]

I have a couple of questions to ask with regards to my 748 engine.

The first one,

Is it worth going from the standard engine breather to a new shiny bling one? Is there any benefit in doing this?

I have just taken my one of to look at. I see that it works/resembles a reed valve. I see no signs of my one being at fault but I do have rather a lot of oil residue building up on the rear of the engine cases!!! Perhaps a STM for example would cure this??

Second question,

I have a clutch seal that appears to be leaking oil from behind the clutch. If I were to put another seal in, would I have to removed the engine case in order to do this or can it be pushed in from the external side of the case? I appreciate that I will have to remove the whole clutch.

I look forward to any replys/hints from the engine tinkerers.

Ta,

DC.
