Does Van's in the FFw kit recommend changing the breather hose nipple fitting from the 3/4" fitting that was supplied with the engine to a 1/2" fitting?

Eric,
I haven't heard of any recommended change. The breather tube that comes with the FWF kit fits the same size hose as fits on all breather fittings on the engines I have used. The only time I have seen a reduction needed is when an air-oil separator is being used.
In answer to your question, I don't think so.

Nope, no change required. My only issue is that with the angled oil filter adapter on my TMX-IO-540 engine, the breather tube is too close to the oil filter. At best it will just touch the oil filter, at worst, it will make the oil filter difficult to remove. I'm in the process of re-positioning it. Aircraft spruce has the six foot length of 1" X 0.035" 5052 aluminum tube for $20. Now I need a 1" tube bender. Pre bent breather tube from Vans is $49.

Hit up your local electrician or a rental supply place and get a 1" conduit hickey. Should work just fine. But, be aware ..... I haven't done it!!!

William,
I have used the TMXIO-540 twice and have not had a problem with the angle adapter and the breather. Are you sure you have the breather in the right place? I don't want to insult your intelligence, so I could be missing something obvious, but I have never had an issue with that. Do you have a picture?
do not archive

I remember what I did now. I wanted any oil that came out to hit the
exhaust stack in hopes that some or most of it would burn instead of
getting on the belly, so I swiveled the breather tube towards the
pilot's left which did that and gave more clearance to the oil filter.
I hope this helps.
