Beautiful solution. Seen that one before. However you do know during cranking you can have negitive crank case pressure.... slurp!

I also love the electrical tape on the leads.

I'm also looking for seperators. Moroso and I think Accusump make small ones. However I've just bought a dry sump engine... which should solve my issues.

The catch can sizes apply to any Motorsport NZ event if you have an open crankcase ventilation system.
up to 2000cc 1L
over 2000cc 2L
There is debate over whether this is before or after equivalency factors for turbo's etc. Safer to go with the larger if in doubt.

Nice pic King Corolla.

At levels because most of the corners are one way the best solution for the 4AGE breather problem is to swap the tappet covers over and put them on opposite sides. Seems to work.

Hmm Florida, can you get them in NZ?

That seperator does look pretty small. Do you fit it on top of a catch can where the filter normally goes or something?
