Cylinder head breather
« on: April 19, 2010, 01:09:19 AM »
Anyone ever vent this to the atmosphere instead of the airbox?

I'd vent to a catch can before atmosphere. 14k revs burp a bit of oil on the overrun.

I left it off the airbox one day on accident and knew only by the acrid smell and upon reconnecting the burp of crap on the top of the motor.

The airbox is baffled in the fire wire so that most of it won't hit the filter and just ooze to the bottom.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with an oily bog inside my air box...

So, maybe a catch can with a breather filter?

Me personally, would do catch-can but still venting to the airbox after the can. You've still got the air filter as a secondary stop if anything does get through, but keeps it as a sealed system.
