[quote="lozash" The engine has been set up to run an open breather system and I have proof of age which is 1976!, I am wondering if this would pass the IVA?, as you can see the build is now creeping into my house!
][/quote]
As I understand it, if the engine is pre '73, when it goes for its IVA test then it is examined as a "smoke test" only to see if the engine is blowing out smoke. If it's a '74 or later engine then it will have to pass an emissions test. The age of the engine will need to be verified by one of VOSA's recognised sources., hope that helps
cheers..Nige
