Title: OIL CATCH TANK
Post by: jake on 11 January 2009, 19:11

Went to a forge stand yesterday at piston heads as mentioned on my other thread, spoke to them regarding oil catch tank, not an expensive mod only around 40 quid

there a universal fit look really nice in engine bay in polised metal,

anyone ever fitted one of these?

if your engine is breathing heavy then it will catch the excess oil from the breather instead of puting back through the TIP.

ideal for racing, not really needed for road use unless your engine is breathing hard and passing oil into the TIP under high boost which passes past the piston rings and creates crankcase presure forcing oil to pass by the breather.
