A quick exam showed the breather very carefully plugged with an aircraft fitting! Asked how, she explained that her lover had done it for her to keep oil from dripping from her air filter - a Healey problem so common that the factory had promulgated a very simple five-minute fix. I did the job right and while handing her the fitting that'd caused her problem I remarked that her friend must know very little about engines if he was foolish enough to completely plug the crankcase breather. She replied inignantly "He knows a lot more than anybody in this shop - he's a licensed aircraft mechanic! Works on Lycomings ..." Interesting! A JAX sock puppet.... I never knew such a thing existed! |
