Losing my mind... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 2,476 Joined: 26-May 06 From: Charlotte, NC Member No.: 6,073 Region Association: South East States ![]() |
Wondering what everyone is using for their breather catch cans (if you're using one at all)... from your oil tank on a higher compression 6 cylinder?
I used to just have a K&N filter on the fitting from the oil tank, but it kept misting so much oil through it it would leak down into the engine compartment. Plus I now have a longer vent from the transmission since we put the trans cooler on it. i would love to be able to vent them together into a catch can if possible, but don't know which direction to go. i have a few ideas, just curious what others have used. TIA |

I used the clear bottle for a while, mine was an old diet coke 20 OZ bottle.
Problem I found is that the oil gets really hot, and can sometimes make dealing with that flimsy, and very hot bottle a pita. I would suggest a simple way to drain it, or have that in mind with 150 degree oil. Old motor filled mine up each time...so I needed to deal with it frequently, and when hot. I also found that mounting it higher than the breather system made it fill up less frequently as the oil would drain back as it went from a mist to solid. When I had it like Andy's down in that hole, it filled up pretty fast. Just look at the whole system and make sure all the tubes drain towards the breather and back into the motor. Then you dont have to deal with the bottle to often. Rich |
