EMPI Aluminum Engine Oil Breather Kit (00-8544-0)
The EMPI Aluminum Oil Breather Kit is an essential upgrade for high-revving or modified air-cooled engines. As engine performance increases, so does crankcase pressure; this kit provides the superior ventilation required to eliminate blow-by and prevent oil loss.
Featuring a cast EMPI logo, the breather box uses an internal screen mesh shelf to elevate the foam filter, capturing oil efficiently while air vapors vent to the atmosphere. This updated version includes heavy-duty 1/2" I.D. breather hose for maximum flow and durability.
