    after a short run...heavy breathing

    Hi guys after a short run today after the 5 being warmed up to temp, I have experianced the car heavy breathing! I have attached some links so you could check the pipe arrangment is ok on the breathers.
    Its just that the breather filter has a fair bit of condensation inside and steam emitting
    But I have no loss of water and the oil is clean, it may be due to the car sitting so long and spillage of water when i was filling the system .

    Did you fully clean out your water/ oil system after you replaced the liner? have you any pics of how the breather looks after the run you did? can you rig a catch tank system up to show how heavy its breathing.. sorry i havnt replyed to your PM, ive been busy recently with the civic....

    Yeh i flushed the rad and drained the cooling system then re filled with good coolant.
    Didnt clean the oil system though. What would you clean?

    No pics of the breather, just the sconstant steam got me questioning the breather system

    I Have a catch tank sat in the garage doing nothing I will rig it up.
    The cup mod and the breather mod look ok though?

    No worries mate, I thought you might have been busy.
