The oil can captures the oil and allows the gas (blowby) to go to the intake manifold.

here you go work in progress

contact Garm if interested .

Does one of the tubes on top continue down into the can to carry the inward vapours to the bottom of the can so that the vapour has to go through the medium before it travels out of the top of the can back to the intake?
Or does the air just take the easiest route and bypass the medium altogether?

Looking good. Will that steel wool ever need replacing?

1NZYaris1 · 11-13-2009, 01:49 AM

Not at pressent but that is an option , if people want to pay for it

at present the out let is an open air pocket , and the inlet travels through a fine steel wool then into a coarse wool .
The other option is using a oil seperator cone , but again people need to be willing to pay for it .

How easy is it to blow through those filters with your mouth? Are they going to pose a restriction?
