“2 available Assembly is new but composed of used fasteners”
Brand:purpose-built component Surface Finish:as cast & machined surface Manufacturer Part Number:replaces Meyer-Drake OEM #270-311 Country/Region of Manufacture:United States

Here we have a Breather assembly for Offenhauser, Meyer-Drake, & Drake/Offy racing engines. Facing the front of the engine, the Breather installs in place of the 3-bolt Cam-End Cap on the right side of the Gear Tower.


Unlike originals, this Breather dis-assembles for cleaning and permits packing with copper/bronze-mesh inside the Breather body to extract oil suspended in the vapor escaping from the crankcase. The rear of the Breather is counterbored about .070" deep then drilled & tapped 10-24 on 1.062" centers.


A purpose-built Baffle (retained by safety-wired drilled-fillister-head screws) needs to be manufactured to capture the copper/bronze mesh, if used, inside the Breather body. Neither Baffle nor mesh is supplied and is left to the buyer/builder's discretion. Original Offy Gear-Tower Breathers were one-piece castings with fixed internal baffles.


The 2 studs, 2 nuts and 6 washers are used 4130 OEM Meyer-Drake and Drake items I've acquired through the years. Breather bodies & tops were new un-machined castings out of an estate sale. I acquired them earlier this year and suspect they were an effort to maintain an inventory of replacement parts for an owners' stable of race cars. Images show 3-bolt left-side and 4-bolt Breather on a 159 Turbo Offy Gear Tower. All Breathers are the same with minor machining differences due to open-setup methods used to produce them. Permanent tooling fixtures weren't made to machine these Breathers.


NOTE: Castings are not anodized or coated in any way. Questions about this item will be answered promptly.


 

Technicon Design to present Roding Roadster at CDN Car Design Night

Fri, 02 Mar 2012

Technicon Design is all set to present the Roding Roadster – the first production car developed for Roding Automobile – at Car Design News’ Car Design Night in Geneva on Tuesday evening. The car is the result of collaboration between the two companies after Roding contacted Technicon Design at the beginning of 2011 with the task of redesigning its prototype sports car. Roding developed a prototype of its Roadster concept in 2008, originally designed at the university in Munich, and displayed at the Frankfurt motor show three years ago.

Cross-country in a Corvette Stingray: Conclusion

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

The final leg of our cross-country Corvette trip took us from Detroit to Charlevoix, Mich. -- about 45 minutes north of our birthplace, Traverse City. Aside from the drivers on I-75 in metro Detroit -- who may be the worst in the world -- and the still-intermittent audio system, the ride was pretty uneventful.
