Just a quick question. What effect would it have on the running of the enigne if the two breather hoses on the top right hand side of the rocker were blocked?

It'd probably blow the dipstick out of the tube.

Cool that would be fun to see! what about if there was a partial blockage? could it cause idle/rev faults similar to those from a failing MAP/ICV?

Highly likely..

The rocker breather system is there to do 2 jobs. Remove oil and water from the hot air at the top of the head and secondly to relieve positive crankcase air pressure iirc Smile It also stops backfires into the inlet manifold from igniting crank case gasses, which you really dont want happening!

By pulling these gasses from the crankcase it will also prolong the life of your engine oil, which is a nice little bonus Smile

On idle it basically sucks the bad vapours out of the engine so if it is partially blocked it will almost definately be causing issues. Scrap the old pipes and stick a catch tank on there, make sure you plumb it in properly though, many people opt to plug the pipe on the inlet mani but this is actually wrong Whistle

If you are fitting a catch can you still need the pipe to inlet connected,as it 'sucks' out the gasses etc from crank caseWink

Otherwise you are just relying on the 'blow by' pressure passed piston rings to push gasses etc out,which on a NASP engine isn't alotSmile

A proper catch can/breather tank set up will be filtered inside,to seperate fluids(oil/condensation) from gasses before it gets sucked into inletWink

These are proper catch cans that work:
