Hi

In the process of fitting an oil catch tank to try and combat high oil consumption on track.

Car is an ex-Academy roadsport with a 120bhp Ford Sigma engine and Caterham have supplied me with an "Oil Catch Tank - Academy (Sigma) Academy 07>" kit complete a massive tank, miles of breather hose, some elbows, two blanking plugs and a few other small bits.

Please can someone confirm which breathers need to be routed to a catch tank because the only obvious breather connects the cam cover to the throttle body via a pipe which runs between and under the plastic inlet manifold?

The kit would suggest there is another breather to pick-up somewhere...

Thanks
Ben

Mine has 2 small catch tanks, I think because Caterham were out of stock of the larger one at the time. One connects to the cam cover, and one to the block just below the inlet manifold, behind the aluminium water rail. You'll need to blank the throttle body.
