Default 32 Oil pan breathing

what are the implications of not having the road draft tube on a aluminium 32 pan? Excessive oil changes? I expect it would probably cause more moisture, and maybe a few more contaminants, but that can be fixed by frequent oil changes I would imagine. There is still going to be a breather up top, so I cant see it causing a pressure build up????

Is there anything that can be done, besides installing a PVC? The only thing I like less than nasty fumes in the crankcase is ingesting them into the rest of the motor as well.

Thanks

Beech

There is no need for a pan vent, as long as you vent the block thru the oil fill tube the engine will air out just fine.

Ok thanks! Kind of what I thought, but wanted to get another opinion!

But... that IS the rest of the motor, isn't it?
