Took my newly built zetec turbo for a drive earlier and found that it filled my catch tank with oil then popped my dipstick and covered my engine bay. I'm not sure if I have fitted the breather in the sump in the wrong place as on idle with the pipe off it flicks oil out it. Im not sure what to do from here really.. I also got quite a bit of pressure coming from the head but not sure if its because of the bottom end breather issues?
Shall I add another rocker breather and return the standard one to the sump take off I added?
Here is where my breather is fitted on the sump

Hi, yes I have a breather on my catch tank..
I have piped it up like this:
Sump to Y Piece
Rocker to Y piece above
Then Y piece where the two join to breather.

i run from cam cover to catch tank (with a one way valve) then from catch tank to turbo intake.....also from front breather/seperator to inlet manifold also with a one way valve. i know you say you got rid of your standard breather and blocked front breather off but tryin to give general idea of what u need to achieve which is circulation of emissions, please correct me people if i am wrong??...i got a diagram somwherei found on jap sites

Drilled just behind the baffle in the cover (removed baffle first) then the pipe fitting is threaded so it bolted in with a copper washer either side iirc.

I'll have a look tomorrow at it all now.. I got a feeling I can't use the sumo breather as intended as it just chucks oil upwards. So for now ill try zetec original breather pipe in rocker to my sump breather then put new fitting on rocker to catch tank and try it.. if that doesn't work meh. Where is your block breather dude

Not that I've noticed, pressure I have no idea, I ran it with a pipe of the rocker cover it does blow gas/fumes out. The Bailey separator sorts the rest.

x2 breather ports on rear of the engine block , ive seen people use 1 , ive seen people plumb back into the front breather port ,theres many different ways and iam talking from my experience and this is imo the best way to breathe the engine.
hope this helps
cheers paul

Well today I added some breathers
Looped the original rocker breather back to the one I had in the sump. Managed to get a fitting where the original block breather would be to my catch tank and added another take off on the rocker to the catch tank. So far so good.

I used a will pedley breather in block to catch tank. Cam cover to catch tank and return to sump with a breather filter on top of catch can. Works well

i modified the original zetec breather at front and ran that to a catch tank, same off cam cover. filter on the other port.
didn't have any issues with oil or breathing, if anything it was mostly moisture in the can when i emptied it as i didn't get engine out again to make a sump return.
