          The car survived the dyno and had very little coming out the breather but i have a new problem
          When you drive the car under heavy acceleration the oil all ends up at the back of the engine and then comes out the block breather
          Can i delete the block breather and put a new one out of the rocker cover instead?
          thanks

            Common problem. There are a few detailed treads on the forum about this, adding a vapour cylone & separator, catch tank etc.
            Putting a baffled breather on the top of the rocket cover is a a good solution.

            Here is a couple to get you started:

              thank you, lots of reading and things to think about there
              I think ive fixed it, part of the problem was that i filled the oil level back up to the high tide mark and didnt allow for the 10mm gridle
              So effectively over full
              also put so stainless mesh in the breather and a T piece so it would if it got high enough drain back to the rocker cover
              had a few runs and nothing in the can so far
              thanks
