Re: No crankcase breather tube on the Youth Project car
This topic comes up every year or so. Here is a thread that had some suggestions on adding a pan breather if you don't want to swap crankcases. https://groups.io/g/Crosley-Gang/topic/oil_filler/4096566?p=Created,,,20,1,0,0 Jim...

Re: No crankcase breather tube on the Youth Project car
I'm not real keen on the only crankcase vent being on the very top of the motor which will gather a lot of grease and dirt. I wish there was a way to add a blow by tube somewhere.

Re: Auction: VanDerBrink Auction - July 14-16 - Norwalk, Ohio

I noticed that the HotShot does not have any side vents. My 1949 HotShot has the smaller vents to the engine compartment which was a carry over from the CC fender design retooled by the factory, while my 1952 SuperSports has the larger vents into the passenger compartment. (my 49 HotShot even has the closed off vent holes visible from the inside on the rear fenders) Anyone know the time frame where the VC models had no side vents?

The number will be below the distributor on a flat, and yes I think you hit the snake on the head...

Re: No crankcase breather tube on the Youth Project car
Fred, is that on the driver side on the small flat milled out spot ? I'm guessing the motor has been changed out and the lower end is from a Cobra.

I believe the oil filler tube/cap is also a breather. Sent from my I-thing

No crankcase breather tube on the Youth Project car
We are detailing the engine and early I noticed the crankcase has no breather tube.Can enough pressure be vented up thru the tower shaft tube and out the cam cover breather ? There is no blow by provision on the block either.

Auction: VanDerBrink Auction - July 14-16 - Norwalk, Ohio
Lot of interesting cars in this auction. The 14th is a preview day the link below has the auction listed as two different auctions one Saturday and one Sunday but it look like some of the cars are listed on both so not sure when a specfic car will be sold, they may have more specifics as the dates get closer. In looking through the pictures I see at least 3 Prewars (2 pretty rough), Two Hotshots (one may be a Super Hotshot), and a CD wagon. http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_current.php The auction is the weekend after the Crosley Nationals in Wauseon and looks to be about 90 minutes from Wauseon for anyone that wants to extend their stay in Ohio.

Looks great! Congrats to Lizzie. We were parked next to her at the 2014 meet, so we had a chance to see the quality work she was doing. This is a significant accomplishment and will be a treasured memory with her grandfather. - Park

Re: Youth Project update Kyana Winter Get Together
Glad you guys had a nice get together. That chili sounds great, though I am glad I did not have to ride home with Stoney! Jackson, I just learned last year how to use plastiguage and torque down the bearings properly. Amazed me how tight the tolerences need to be.

Re: Youth Project update Kyana Winter Get Together
We had 8 Kyana members attend today's Winter get together. Lots of good advice for Jackson and his Project car. Steaming hot chili went well on a cold day.The Boy learned how to check bearing tolerances with Plastigage and how to use a torque wrench. We also got the coil springs installed that Jerry Summey sent us (thanks Jerry) Attending--Doug Doty, Glenn Hannekamp, Eric Dudley,Tim Hamblen, Jackson Ross and his buddy Bryce,Greg Juliot, Paco Martin Munoz , and Don Stonecipher,
