One of the items on my to do list was this breather fitting modification. This fitting screws into the crankcase and provides the crankcase vent. These engines have a reputation for leaving a small puddle under the breather on the ramp after shut down because the camshaft throws oil into this fitting. The extension is a recommendation from Continental to help solve this issue. The longer tube helps to displace the vent location out of the path of the oil being slung by the camshaft. The brass tube was turned down in the lathe and then silver soldered to the fitting.
