You do know the top transmission cover has 3 compartments 2 are for the transmission and 1 is for oil tank to eng Which is a separate compartment it's not apart of the transmission You notched in-between the transmission and oil galleys are you sure you want the oil mist and moisture from eng mixing with transmission oil I just vented my trans cover using a one way check valve and a filter As it relieves the excess pressure but still can get a vacuum as its needed to help with oil consumption
Good set up! Haven't seen someone do this to this style air filter housing. You worried about moisture/air coming in from that hose going through the housing? Even though I doubt it would because water can't travel up the hose.
This is what I was afraid of when blockhead did his video is brothers in this community would do this … why would one want to direct blow by oil & moisture back into their motors ? I don’t typically comment like this but would strongly recommend you touting the blow by into a catch can … Ride safe
I’m a 25 year mechanic so I understand the motor I get no blow by in my motor I can run it with that hose off and no oil or milk or anything comes out the vent dip stick really does it’s job and that’s why I didn’t notch the block like block head did in case I didn’t like what’s was going on there I could just buy a new transmission cover but I check the bike every ride and no matter what your crank case has moisture in it the moisture burns off when the bike gets to operating temp if there was that much moisture coming from that head there would be bigger problems but I appreciate your concern ride safe
Um, that won't work. You forgetting blow-by gas pressure that will be trying to escape your engine block. These gasses are exhaust gasses that have escaped by the piston rings during the combustion cycle. This will ultimately build up a lot of pressure from within the motor and sooner or later will start blow out seals, (the weakest one first if not all). I hope I'm not too late. You'll be better off just venting to a catch can or my favorite to the atmosphere. I'll do both from the head bolts you have there and out of the transmission cover. Besides mostly what should be coming out of those hoses should be mostly water and oil vapors. It could be straight motor oil if you over filled your engine oil. Good luck...
So I’m going to have to disagree I have a vented dip stick and the blow by for the head is escaping form the transmission cover I think every motor is different some have more blow by the. Other mine has almost none every time I check the hose coming for the head the hose is dry as a bone I got around 1500 miles on this set up and it’s working great I could just run it to atmosphere because I don’t have any blow by if any I run 4 quarts on a oil change not 4.5 I got this idea from block head moto check them out I change it around a little. To what’s I think works better if the bike had excessive blow by them I would go a different route
@@capecodbiker9902 Didn't know about the vented dip stick. The cases of the M8 motor are all the same, oiled and water cooled alike just configured differently. I don't like the vented Dipstick because of if and when come out of a dig. (Launch) the potential for oil to slosh to the back of the engine and and out the Dipstick. The trans cover is the highest point of the oiling system and I believe it equalize there between the crankcase and the oil pan.
@@scoobiduu thanks buddy thanks for commenting. I agree if I didn’t have the vented dipstick then yes you should not run anything into that transmission cover I never have any problems with my vented dipstick but I’m not doing massive wheelies or anything like that I have not had a problem yes but the potential could be there
The trans case he drilled a passage way. The center chamber of the trans case that he tapped into has an outlet that is free flowing. There will be no pressure build up because it escapes through that transcase cover vent. It's a fair design, but its better to just vent the trans case directly. Or ... use a vented dipstick. I have no idea why he has a breather blowby if he has a vented dipstick. The dipstick eliminates that issue before it goes down stream.
@@FranBunnyFFXII I would agree with you BUT it would be a totally plugged system if it wouldn't be for the Dipstick breather. To me that's the least thing to be concerned over. Why put moisture back into your oil that have to find another way out? 🤔
Well maybe yes but there are very tight I can’t even pull the hoses off now so I think I’m ok and the t is plastic so it could suck in the motor and just break up and do no damage or maybe fuck it up then I get a 128 😂
@@capecodbiker9902 actually the plastic would get caught in the valve and cause the piston and / or other valve to hit it. Catastrophic failure. Just be aware of the risk is all. 🤘🤓😃
All he would have to do is dab cyanoacrylate onto the TFitting contacting at least one tube seam. It'll never come lose. Cyno bonds never break unless they're hit by certain debonding agents.. which would never exist behind that air filter. Just a few dabs of crazyglue from the grocery store and it's all good for life.
There is none because I have a vented dip stick I got no blow by from the head I just did this because I don’t like a catch can look I can undo the hose from the cover and nothing comes out some people get a lot but I guess I’m lucky and the little bit of residue that would come out wouldn’t do any harm to your engine in my opinion I have 13 k on the bike with no problem at all
@@capecodbiker9902 you are putting oil gases and FUEL VAPORS (CORROSIVE) into your trans….not sure this is a good idea brother. Your bike your choice. It does look clean just wasn’t sure if that was considered prior to install….
@@iamdjtake5 I’m not putting anything in there but air my bike I can’t speak for other bikes but I check that hose all the time and it’s dry I time I run a q tip up the hose now if I a had a bike that a lot of blow by came out if I would’ve probably not did this

As it relieves the excess pressure but still can get a vacuum as its needed to help with oil consumption
That is a clean and easy solution
Man for sure clean and simple ,great way to get it done almost looks like it grew there that way
Ya buddy thanks
Looks good! Enjoy the ride!
Thanks bud
Looks nice!
Thanks bud
The vented dipstick works perfectly, but nevertheless I routed the breather through the downtube to the pavement, yours is a good job though
Thank you.

Thank you no I’m not I always check the hose and it’s not chunk white milk so I think I’m good

Unfortunately Harley had this small problem I did this just to be safe but plenty of people don’t do this and get 100k out of the bike no problems
😂😂😂😂
Nope. This is not venting at all
How so
