Good to see it moving! How about taking the Javelin into the mountains and getting some more video?

The car does not have permission to travel, yet we can not get away from home, much less use roads with plenty of traffic. We do not want crossing with traffic police, they would put several fines. 
Saludos!

Re: Jowett Javelin Restoration (Spain)
I do not know why I did not reply to this before!
I am not sure what you mean by the vacuum breather pipe but if is the one connected to the pintle valve then this is at manifold depression on one side.
The other side of the pintle valve will be at crankcase depression. The idea of the pintle valve is to keep the pressure of the crankcase just below atmospheric by opening the valve and letting the inlet manifold suck the exhaust gases in.
The depression in the balance pipe or inlet manifold will depend on throttle opening and on engine revs.
With the throttle fully open the inlet manifold is close to atmospheric, so not much suck to get rid of exhaust gas, which is when the most suck is needed as that is when there is the most blow by the piston rings. This is why race engines have a catch tank rather than the pintel valve.
If you ease off the throttle at cruising speed than you may see smoke out of the exhaust, indicating worn rings, as then the inlet manifold will suck in the exhaust gas.
