Titan XIO 360 Breather Tube Question

[Tcheairs]

Does anyone know if the crankcase breather tube of the Titan XIO 360 has a vent hole in it somewhere? If so, where? I didn't see one the last time I had the cowling off of my RV7A..

I'm using one of those desiccant systems which helps remove condensation from the crankcase (Black Max) and I want to be sure that I insert the plastic tube far enough to to be upstream of the "piccolo" vent (that's what it was called on the Continental IO 520) so that the Black Max unit will pump the dry air into the crankcase instead of out through any upstream vent.

Thanks

Vent in crankcase breather tube

The breather hose is connected at the back/ top of the engine.
It should be 3/4" or 7/8" in dimension.
Usually it is mounted on the fire wall and exit close to where the air leaves
the cowling. The breather hole is normally found close to where the hose
makes a 90 deg turn downward on the firewall. 1/2".
Sometimes it`s an aluminium pipe with a breather hole on the firewall.

Good Luck

Thanks, I'll look for it again...my pipe is aluminum and exits just next to the LH exhaust pipe
