What would happen if your crankcase breather was blocked?

Re: crankcase breather
Pressure will build up in the engine case - could blow a nose seal or someother path it can find to escape..jack

Re: crankcase breather
That's why there is a hole in the tube above the exit of the airframe. If the tube ices over, it can still breath. Blocking it causes many pressure issues--all are bad, too! <ng>

Re: crankcase breather
Nose seal...goes around the crankshaft, right behind the prop....
You'll notice it if it leaks....

Re: crankcase breather
Jim, Really hard to say....Do you have a reason to believe you may have a vent problem? I wouldn't think your vent would be that easy to plug....jack

Re: crankcase breather
The crankcase pressurization would occur very, very quickly after the breather is blocked. Immediately.
