Oil Catch Tank
Daddylonglegs - 8/2/10 at 07:04 PM

Got me a nice oil catch tank (well I think it is anyway). What I'm after is how to connect it up to my 2.0l Pinto. All I have in the block is the push-fit breather thingy on the offside of the engine.

If you don't mind me asking was it the £27.50 one of the Bay?

i have removed the one way valve (unit on the block) then a pipe to the catch tank, also i have a take off from the oil cap on the rocker cover (i say take of but its negative pressure in the rocker cover) to the catch tank

I bought the cheap ebay one, ad it is bloody brilliant. Mine has a machined Alu lid, that screws on with an integral seal. In the pot, there is a magnetic plug to catch any bits of ferrous metal floating about. And you get the sightglass etc all included in the price. A great piece of kit for what I paid...
