Catch Can Tme

Was pretty much finished messing for the day, and thought I'd just take a look at my heavy breathing catch can issue.

I'd been collecting bit to have a go at it.

This is what I removed

The large  tank ? was bolted to the motor mount, well with 1 bolt anyway, the other lost !

The smaller tank was bolted to the inlet manifold in a heath robinson kind of fashion

And a lot of home made plumbing was evident.

Anyway I just ripped it all out.

 

I fitted a Burtons blank in place of the home made one, in fairness the home made one had a baffle on it, so this probably wasn't needed, but as I'd removed the old one to check, thought I might as well whilst I had it.

Alloy rocker has 2 unions fitted now.

Block breathes into rocker, rocker breathes into catch tank

Just need to mount the catch tank and vent tomorrow.

Then try it out.

Quick trip to Toolstation turned up a suitable bracket, I wanted the emptying plug easily accessible.

The idea behind the baffle on the blanking plate is to stop oil being thrown by the redundant fuel pump eccentric on the cam straight at the breather take off - see how it goes you could always change it back easily enough.

The Burton one has a baffle too, I wasn't expecting the homebrew one too. So it's all good.
