help making homemade oil catch tank
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 2:31 pm
Hi
Currently i have a breather and the rocker cover breather pipe being fed back into the twin carbs via a four way adaptor (2 pipes from the breathers, then two pipes to the carbs)....carbs and the engine are off a 1300gt and this is how they were connected when i bought the engine (was all still on the 1300gt subframe).
Been thinking bout making a oil catch tank instead, would this be better? or should i just leave as is.......the engine is only lightly tuned........
I have got an old 1 pint Castrol can, so i was thinking i would need a couple of pipe fittings to screw into the side or top of the can to attach the hoses from the breathers too, then should i just remove the cap and use gauze there or fit a little aftermarket breather where the cap was?
or maybe there a better way of doing this?
also the two pipes at the bottom of the carbs where the breathers connect too, shall i just run a pipe between them once this is done?
thanks for any advice/help!
