Oil breather

[DJones]

I have made a new oil breather set up.

With 2.2 bar it is getting some blow by, as you would expect. I was not happy that i was venting it well enough i.e. it all passed down a 13mm pipe at the end of its journey.

In my opinion to small so i have adapted it and fitted the new bottle on the right in the pictures. It may be a bit OTT buts that's me for ya..

Yes the first bottle goes back to the sump. the second bottle just has a drain valve for condensation...

On thinking about this, i recon it because of the holes i cut at the rear of the bonnet.

I cut the holes to allow the heat to pass over the firewall and pass through the bonnet vents. On a standard car it is a rubbish design the heat has nowhere to go. I guess the smell passes out at the same time.

I personally don't think that your idea is very good. On standard car - heat must go beneath the car or through the vents in the first third/middle of the hood. Area where hood vents are located is high air pressure area, and there air is getting in, not out. So you are redirecting heat from the engine to your heater, and inside the car. This means breathing fumes, especially through center vents.

Here is ilustration what I'm talking about:


Is it so cold in the mornings to go such sacrifice? .
