[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 503277, member: 27963"] If you are interested in sealing up your flywheel cover go to a tractor trailer parts place and ask for 3/32 or 1/8 synflex air line......spaghetti lines for transmision hi lo splitter. If you take your time you can feed this line thru the rubber grommet and up thru the wiring harness to underneath the tank. use a bit of grease on the line to help it slide and dont let it kink. This can help you immensely if you do a lot of deep water crossings becasue now you can seal the cover down tight and yet still be vented up to the hieghth of your tank. You still should take the cover off and let it dry when not in use though since condensation will find its way in there. I am toying with the idea of drilling a hole in the case under the flywheel.installing a nipple and running a hose to some type of foam vent<like those pc vents things for carberators>. My idea being that if any condensation forms that it should flow down the drain vent into the foam. Any rapid pressure changes like having a hot engine going thru a cold deep stream should vent thru the unristricted line that is going up top. And with any luck the foam vent will hopefully slow down the water trying to find level in my flywheel housing long enough for me to get out of the stream. Still just dont have the nerve yet to try it though. heh even thought about using one way vents in the lines so that it draws in from the top and pushes out thru the bottom. so every heat cycle you have a purge. bit way too much over thinking though campared toj ust take the dang cover off after you wash the bikel :) [/QUOTE]
