Hi, I have an old Takeuchi excavator tb035 with a Yanmar 3tn84tl 3 cylinder engine.
The breather hose that relieves the overpressure in the cylinder head now directly vents in the air. This comes unfortunately with lots of smoke and smell... The cylinders probably leak somewhat.
Is it a good idea to connect that breather hose directly to the air intake (after air filter) so it is burnt, resulting in better (or less bad) emissions? (As is done in more modern engines) Or will this mess up the air supply or...?
The machines is not used alot, so not worth redoing the entire engine for the couple of hours that I need it.
Thanks for any advice in advance!
