yeh...but blow real softly 100psi would NOT be clever!

better still just pull the PCV system and clean/replace its nto a bad job and gives piece of mind...

that big pipe (i know exactly the one you mean caused me real greif...i replaced the breather box, cleaned everything, replace seal on oil filler and still had oil blowing out the filer seal...

that big hose was I THOUGHT clear (i could run water thru it..) but i got it off again and REALLY thoroughly cleaned it (i.e. clamped to a stick in a U then filled with GUNK and rodded it with a piece of plastic covered wire - so as not to damage it) and repeated...got an amazing amount of hardened coke out of it and about DOUBLED the effective internal diameter...propblems disapeared...

Now..on mine it goes from the AMM hose to the top of the flame trap and is about 30 secs to remove ...so I would take it off and really check it...
