gems v8 engine re-breathe

al-one-arm · Feb 21, 2018

when standing in front of the car, at the rear left there is a rubber pipe , coming from rocker cover up 1.5" then across 6" to the side of the plenum chamber.
question 1; what is the part number for this pipe?
question 2, this pipe fits onto a fitting into the plenum chamber, should you be able to blow through this? or pass anything through it? its a six sided nut with a pipe fitting sticking out
any help would be appreciated
alan

looks like the answer to question 1 is either llh 500100 or llh 500090

Is it a crank case breather or rocker breather?
It shouldn't be blocked al?

Saint.V8 · Feb 22, 2018

As above it is part of the crankcase breather setup.....and it shouldn,t be blocked.

Hose- https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/96101/0/breather_hose_engine_v8_rr_p38

Separator- https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product....covery_1___2___range_rover_classic___defender
(Remove and clean)

Stub into plenum should be unobstructed

Fergie46 · Feb 22, 2018

Got my hose from Rimmers.

al-one-arm · Feb 22, 2018

would spraying carb cleaner into the pipe fitting, clean it out ,without doing any damage, or should i use a small drill?

Orangebean · Feb 22, 2018

Depends what it's blocked with. Should only be a bit of oily sludge in there, unless someone's blocked it off deliberately.

al-one-arm · Feb 24, 2018

took the pipe fitting off of plenum chamber (22mm spanner) tried air at 100 psi no go, carb cleaner just stayed in there,held a small 3mm drill in hand and twisted it gently, when removed , just black stuff on the end so kept going by hand and eventually it went all the way through. cleaned it out completely . refitted it started car, you could feel the suction from it.temporarily fitted pipe to rocker cover, blew through it ok.
refitted cleaned out rubber pipe and job done.

Did you remove/ clean the separator as well? If it's been sitting there with nothing blowing/ sucking through it, it's likely to be bunged up as well

al-one-arm · Feb 24, 2018

where is the separator?
mine just has one pipe from rocker cover to plenum side on left and one pipe from rocker cover to air intake on right side ,all pipes and rocker covers now blow through easily

Inside the tube in top of rh rocker cover that the hose pushes over. I linked to it above

there is not one of them plastic spiral things anywhere on my car
if it should have one or two i will have to get them

Orangebean · Feb 24, 2018

Just one- RH rocker cover

al-one-arm · Feb 26, 2018

just spoke to range rover, parts dept, it is only fitted to some deisel engines not on my 4.0 se

Orangebean · Feb 26, 2018

The Gods in the Parts Department need to look in their parts manual then. All the P38 V8's have them...
It's the thing I've highlighted in yellow and it goes where I've put the red arrow.

al-one-arm · Feb 26, 2018

thats not my rocker covers, that looks like a thors engine not gems
1, my filler neck is on the front right cover
2, my breather pipe(11) is not that shape, its more like item 14 with the last couple of bends cut off.

Orangebean · Feb 26, 2018

My apologies- first pic was a Thor. This is the GEMS. Same thing, same place, All P38 V8s
