    What type of seal goes on the oil breather?

    Hi all

    Began servicing the engine today. The oil breather on top of the tappet cover has obviously been leaking for a while due to oil residue everywhere. I removed it to find large amounts of silicone around the breather.

    What type of seal goes around this breather?

    Thanks

    The 'O' ring sits in a recess on the rocker cover.
    It maybe still in place.
    50c O ring or $1 worth of silicone ?
