Oil Catch Tank

[BenR]

you can if you want, but goes against the whole point of having a crankcase ventilation system.

Ideally you want to be pulling a vacuum, not just leaving it pressurised.

benefits is simply less oil vapour in the you inlet, less consumption and less octane contamination, cleaner burn.

making a DIY can is fine, but i wouldnt use wire wool, proper ally plate baffling is what you want.

I run 2 feeds to the inlet manifold, one into the airbox yes. Ideally you also want to place a flow facing slash cut to actively move air through the crankcase.

How would you make up the baffling plate? You got any pics of how it should look?

hard to explain, you need all feeds at the top, with a centre tube coming up the middle, and baffles around it, in a semi helical/cyclone filter type of arrangement.

I'd have to draw it, but i cant be arsed right now.

Any chance of getting a drawing sometime
Would rather make my own up, and there isnt anywhere which sells them like that in the Uk?

you'll be waiting a long time for me to draw it in paint! lol
