put the pipe from the cam cover and the one from the front of the engine block to a catch tank and vent that to atmosphere

you also have to pipe the oil return from breather back to sump , remember and put it below the oil level or engine will just breath from that pipe aswell and breather will fill with oil

heres a couple of pics of what i had


i also had catch tank after breather then to atmosphere , you can see top of it mounted on chassis leg , i also modified the front block breather to accept 16mm hose instead of 10mm

Was looking at a VXR engine today and its breather return pipe is above oil level.

If you have it above level and have oil returning wouldn't this indicate excess crank case pressure ?

right i have found front breather but i cant seem to find one on the back of the block any ideas.

JPA

there is'nt one at back of block mate , only front of block and rocker cover

as for oil return to sump you will have to get your sump modded for this

pm me your number if you want a quick chat about it

cheers
