    Oil catch can

    Well, my other ongoing project whilst I have been doing the fan
    is this. Finally managed to find and adapt a receptacle for the
    purpose. Not flashy, and as yet unpainted and unfitted, but getting
    there. One question, what size bore of pipe do I need for the breather
    hose fittings on the engine?

    15mm hose fits straight on the rocker cover outlet, I think it's about 20mm on the air filter to turbo tube.

      They made that bugger awkward to adapt then. I wondered why
      there was that big bulge in the pipe on the connection to the plastic
      tube. Cheers.

        Am i right in thinking it's for catching oil in the turbo pipes? let's have some pics Matt when you got it sorted out, cheers Ian

          It is indeed. It's the next thing on my to do list, (provided the cooling system
          is now leak free and working properly). Guess what colour I've sprayed the
          catch tank? Fitted a couple of hose tails fittings to it, (the BSP airline types),
          the other day, so just have to find somewhere to mount it in the engine bay
          now.

              How did you manage to guess.

                Fitting time for the catch can is drawing ever closer. After I
                get the exhaust clamp back on, it's next on the list. Just two
                more brainpicks beforehand. Is it worthwhile fitting a baffle in
                the catch can, or should it not be necessary? Secondly, would
                it be best to fit a breather filter on the outtake?

                Cheers.
