The BING and the Potato

Now turn those clamps over and it'll end any oil drips from the breather.

Great thread. Now I have something else to dress up.

My clamps are upside down? All of them? Wow.. did not even know that, and I do have that breather oil drip on occasion.. thanks!

Welllll, I think yours are on normally but the other way stops drips.

Did you internalize your repair by eating said potato?
I used to fish with CheezWhiz as bait so if I didnt get any bites, I could still make a sandwich...

hey, can't you also make a battery out of a potato (i'm reaching deep into the grade school memory banks here). if so, hang on to that potato as it might also come in handy for your airhead charging system.

When I taught science I used to make a battery out of a lemon. The students calculated it would take about 500 lemons (I don't remember the number) connected in series to start a car!

How the heck does that work? Why would reversing the clamps change anything???

Beats me but it does.

i think it just sends the drips elsewhere

mine stopped dripping on it's own.. I think I put too much oil in the crankcase on my last oil change.

too much oil = bad
too little oil = bad
just right = good*

*A very scientific random oil level comment.

As long as it isn't on my boot, I don't care. I think the reason is on Snowbum's site somewhere.
