Mac, I have yet to finally sort my engine breathing issues out but will be going down the double breather route (one on each rocker cover like yours), but wondering if you can let me have details of your oil catch tank? There's that many on the market and I've already cocked up once buying the wrong one...

Thanks in advance mate,

Chilli smile

p.s. your motor looks stunning as always thumbup

Richard, you just need a decent sized vessel to allow any oil mist to condense.

Ensure that the breather outlets from the tank match the inlets from the rocker boxes iyswim.

Hi Bloke, don't buy the 7mm jobbies off e-bay and go for at least 15mm if not bigger. Also, don't run the two breathers from each bank 'T'd to a single catch tank as [as I had before] it defeats the object of running two IYSWIM. I have changed it a bit since the photo as I now have one bank vented to atmosphere through a catch tank and the other is fed to the inlet side of the turbo as I'm thinking some venturi effect there may help with some draw from crankcase. nerd
[No oil leaks so far and engine used just over half a litre of oil on a recent 2850 mile round trip]

PS; thanks for compliment bloke.
