I made up a catch tank out of an old rocker cover and mounted it to the side of the headlamp bowl in the inner wing (as you should see, I've got no inner wings).

The blue hose makes it fast too! Or so my OH says! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Mine is just a cheap eBay sigg bottle with a hole in it and a filter glued to the lid.

Mine isn't on the car as I haven't got the car to put it on! I'm sure you can get the idea from it

Just out of interest; how high does the oil level get into the rocker cover?

it does not really fill up at all I think (you can run an engine without for testing) but it just splashes about a bit. That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system

The main reason I think for keeping the level at least to the top of the tappets is when doing an oil change, when your filling back up with new oil you don't want it running out the outlet to the catch tank.. Alan.

It is not shown in my photo, but I also have a pipe coming from the back of timing cover to the other end of the rocker cover, sizes of interal pipe varies with different options people have, I went for the timing cover pipe being about 10mm, and the input, output from rocker cover is 11mm, primary case pipes around 30mm with a 26mm filter on the catch tank all sizes are internal and approximate.. Alan.

Great examples above. So is there any rules to installing one? Minimum breathers? Filter on catch tank or not? To manifold or not? Size requirements? All recommendations are welcome. Main Build

I ran a steel cover with the setup in my photo and the outlet from it was lower than it is now for about 3000 miles last summer, and the only contents of my catch tank was water and a bit of mayo, but the point is I run a standard turbo setup and don't do any track stuff, that's the only comments I can make at this time..

Not high at all when running. But you can fill them right up when putting oil in. So it's always a good idea to keep the catch tank above the rocker level to make sure you don't just pour oil in to your catchtank.
