M head breather tube orientation

Slappy · Dec 10, 2009

After taking it off many moons ago, I'm ready to put the cylinder head breather tube (the long tube that sits under the valve cover) back in place. I see that the hole drilled in the tube is positioned to one side, and while I took good notes on where everything else went, I didn't not the tube orientation relative to the opening.

My initial thought is that orientation shouldn't matter, but I've had that thought before only to find out later that it does matter. Anyone have an answer?

Thanks

If the tube is installed one way, it will touch the rocker arms, turn it around and then it is correct.
