Cosworth Oil Breather Identification/Fitment
Hi all. A bit of help needed with identifying and fitment guide for a recently purchased oil separator kit. Sorry but unable to upload any pics at the minute.
Anyway, its a 4 port separator, two at the top (inlets), two at the bottom (small outlet for oil return, large outlet for breath to atmosphere.
The pipe setup as fitted to it already is: 1 inlet from cam cover, 1 inlet from original breather, return pipe to turbo side of block - is this correct? I was led to believe that the second block connection should also be an OUTLET, not a return?
If this is the case, where would the oil return pipe fit? To the original oil drain into the sump? And finally, last question! Does the original oil separator stay in place in the block, or remove completely and fit an adaptor in?
Many thanks!

Sure the type u've got there drains the oil back threw the adaptor that you
fit into the block under the exhaust/turbo
Fitted a bailey separator and fitting kit on my old 4x4 and that was the way it said
in instructions.
And you leave the original breather/firetrap thing in block and push adaptor into this,then hose to tank fits onto this.
Get rid of the valve thing though that has a small pipe going to inlet manifold,this
needs blanking off.
