Default bailey 4 port breather fitting

My mates just got a 2nd hand bailey 4 port breather just wanted a quick run down on fitting.

Am i correct in thinking the 2 top pipes on breather go to rocker cover and the bung under exhaust manifold,next pipe to standard kidney box fitment and the last thin pipe vents to atmosphere?

Oh its on a 3dr cossie

the 2 top pipes on the tank...
1 wants to go to the flame trap the other wants to go to the bung below the left of the turbo.
the thin pipe on the bottom is the drain, best put it below oil lever, like the sump.
the big pipe on the bottom goes to the atmosphere

If its 2wd, top 2 go to rocker cover and flame trap/kidney box
Bottom one at an angle goes to other side of the block
Massive bottom one vents to atmosphere

OR

Top 2 go to either side of the block, flame trap/kidney box, and under turbo
Bottom one at an angle returns to sump
Bottom one which is massive vents to atmosphere


Depends if you've had a sump fitting welded in or not.

you can buy a fitting that goes into the sump plug, i've done it with my escort, you would need to check if the gearbox will be in the way on a 2wd though.
i would'nt breathe from the rocker cover, here's why.

also dont pipe the small angle pipe on the tank to the turbo side as a return, because that side of the block is breathing so will be trying to push all the return oil back into the tank.
that pipe needs to be below oil level so theres no pressure
