   Just a quick question - got the one breather on the inlet cam side that returns to the sump that's all good
   
   On the exhaust cam side there appears to be a breather hole which is just that - a hole I can get my finger into. Should there be a pipe here feeding up to the inlet or induction kit area?
   
   Thanks

   The hole above the thermostat housing behind the black pipe is what i'm getting at
   
   Probably shouldnt have put "breather" its an oil return!

   that will be done in regards to the breathers.
   I should have worded this better I think as I've confused even myself. The hole i'm referring to is on the head casting itself you can see it in the picture above half hidden by the black rubber pipe which runs horizontally across the head.
   I've seen some of these blanked on later vts engines (for the air pump is it?) with a proper screw on cover but I find it strange that its just open to the atmosphere

   That hole wouldn't cause any problems mate, you would have notice the jp4 engines have these bloked off. its something to do with reducing the emmisions for the mk2 jp4 engines
