looks like a catch tank, could be wrong tho as most catch tanks only have one inlet and drain.

Never mind your tank, your clutch cable is fooked! Get a heat shield on FFS!

Wiring is roasting nicely too!


Is there a 4th opening, there normally is on that tank, its the return to the sump and you ahvent posted a pic of that one.

The two go to the block (under inlet manifold) and cam cover (you drill a hole and fasten a tube in)

Ive just seen this after posting my thread about the breather and catch tank. So my cam cover will have a hole drilled into it somewhere?

You need a heat shiedl Roosie, and a new clutch cable!!
The two pipes as said are for the rocker breather and the block breather, there should be another which vents to atmosphere and one drain back to block, although drain back may not be in this desingn, but I think I can just see another stub on the piccie on the underside ?

Sump return is under the turbo, not sure wot you mean about the small one under the inlet, if its still got the standard setup you need to throw that away just leaving the kidney box and then run a pipe from that to the catch tank, Matt Lewis sells the fitting kit for these.
