oil catch tank

MikeS

I was looking at how the breather in connected to the air flow pipe before the TB and there seems to quite a fair bit of oil residue in and around that area, the TB does not look to be gummed up but surely this must hinder acceleration, end of the day when a car is breathing heavily then it is a sign of wear concerning rings and other bottom end components

I remember doing the breather mod on a redtop to stop oil running into the tb when cornering hard etc

I was thinking that it only costs about 20 - 30 quid to buy a catch tank and mini k&n induction filter [oil breather filter]

would like some opinions on this please !

also i was thinking of hooking up extended hose for the breather filter to be located further away to stop fumes entering the cabin

There's a few of us on here that have done it including me. I wrote a thread on fitting one a while ago. Well worth it IMO.

i will invest in one soon i think

i know oil build up is minimal if the engine aint on its way out - i know people who have never emptied catch tanks since fititng
