Bonjour friends,

It has been a long time since I have posted. Life has been very busy. Too much so that enjoying my R17 has been difficult.

I have a question.

I know that our factory valve cover has what I think is a valve that helps pull a light vacuum from inside the valve cover. The Gorgini Valve cover I have and another one pictured in the attached picture shows a valve attached. I am not sure to what and where it draws its vacuum to.

As in the air must contain a fine oil mist and must be captured or recycled some how.

As you can see the picture of my car, I just have a hose connected to the valve cover connector and that hose empties into a small connection can.

At one time I made the mistake of connecting this into a vacuum on the fuel injection horn. I disconnected that when oil was leaking everywhere a fine amount but clearly I made a mistake.

What suggestions do you have to connect the correct valve and to what do I connect it to? Also suggestions on where to get the valve needed would be very helpful.

Thank you very much for all your help.

I miss my trips to France.

Happy Holidays my friends.

Steve

Hello Steve,

Hello my friends,

I am very sorry I have not posted in such a long time. I still am enjoying my 75 Gordini and have a nice update to share.

I had the seats, front and rears, reupholstered.

I have been wanting to do this almost sincer I got her, but could not find the right company and materials.

I hope you enjoy.

Amicale,

Steve







And my refinished Gotti wheels.



And my new Coupe, just allowed to be imported into the US.

Somewhere in USA. I’ve registered theses pictures last February.

You look for an US model?

Oui, merci. Ou Canadienne.

Hello my friend,

Thank you I am very happy with the craftsmanship of the seat work.

Yes, the Coupe was designed and I think built in Italy by Pininfarina.

The person I bought from purchased it in Spain

I just got back from cars and coffee today.

I forgot to take pictures.

As usual I have the only French car

Maybe once a year I see a person who has a Citroen GS.

Amicale,

Steve
