MessageI used the whistle slot and it works fine, IF you have a good rearward cut on the piece that sticks out the
bottom. I tried cutting it more in line with the fuselage bottom, and that caused oil to blow onto the firewall through
the whistle slot. I recut it with more angle and it is working fine without getting oil on the firewall.

Subject: REFLECTOR:Crankcase breather hose pop off
Because of the possibility of the crankcase breather hose freezing up, reflectorites have suggested slitting the top
side of the hose near the crankcase outlet for pressure relief in such an event. This avoids blowing out the crankcase
seal with a blocked hose.
Has anyone considered/used a pop off valve in the hose instead of a slit? Seems like this would give a more reliable,
controlled escape. If so,where would one get such a valve?
