Wondering if a Oil Catch Can is worth it?

How does it effect the cooling properties? Good possibility I will track the car in the future.

No need to drill holes thru the sides of the tower to attach a flat cover.

Did you just jam that in down at the bottom? Gotta be careful not to tighten too hard, lest it pull up the aluminum block...

Do you sell this?

I'll convert the race car to that, it'll make the line routing a lot easier.

When the aluminum block is rotated into position, the stud is then screwed thru to make contact with the shelf below and lock the block against the overhangs front and rear.

Its part of my horizontal cooling system. I never considered selling it separately.
The large sleeve is designed to accommodate the filler tower.
