Happy Friday everyone. I run a 1380 using an A+ block. Breathers each end and currently no take off tubes from them as I didn't see the need. After a long run recently I discovered how poorly CO2 fumes can make you feel. (Not been an issue on short runs)
Where would be the best place to divert this orrible gas? I run a pair of H4's with K&N type filters. Would it be into a catch tank or can I find a way of putting back into the inlet manifold without affecting running of the car? PS I would like it to look pretty so no suggestions of empty Special Brew or Red Bull tins. Cheers. Mark

Fit a catch tank in the front wing, take a 25mm pipe from the rocker cover to the catch tank and connect the crankcase breather (flywheel end) to the rocker cover with another 25mm pipe. This is probably the most common way to do it.

If you are just running the car on the road, I'd extend the pipes with some hose & route them somewhere near the back legs of the front subframe. The smell should then go under the car.

and if the rings go, it will act as some kind of heath robinson anti rust system!

Or the cars following will think they're behind 007 in an Aston
