Thanks Stuart. I couldn't find an exploded view in either Bentley or ETKA
so it probably doesn't matter.
As I understand it the tower takes the oily air from the crankcase, baffles
it through the tower and routes it into the intake airstream. I'm guessing
the longest route to the intake is preferred. I'll pick a position and go
with it. Thanks for the input.
