I know that it's messy but I did it in a hurry to finish before the Euro raod trip to the Ring. The route and couplings for the pipes are to incorporate the original breather pipes, in case I need to revert back to the original breather system during the trip. If I can source some 30mm I/D black, single ply pvc hose then I'll re-do the pipework and it should look far neater. The 3 ply silicone is rather bulky!

So at 5600 miles, following a valve clean, I'll begin to monitor the catch-can contents. I know that opinion varies as to the cause of the carbon build-up, valve overlap being the most likely, but for my own peace of mind I've at least tried something. We'll see how it goes.........

how come your antifreeze colour looks dark??
should be red yes no????

It's dark red!!!?

Where did you get your tank caps from Caldy?

What catch can did you use Caldy?

Can fabricated from alloy by Stuart at AAS in Newcastle. Caps plundered from written off Audi cab in scrap yard! Struggling for O rings???

looks interesting
Y'ed both into a common hose to the can
common out of the can to the cyclone
???

this trip should be an 'acid test', lol
be real curious to see what accumulates

Yup - twisted backwards the cyclone inlet using the original breather pipes to feed the top of the can and fed new hose from can to cyclone. Simple stuff but let's see if it does anything worthwhile.

as you said caldy, at least you are trying something...good luck fella

It's good to see..

Sounds interesting and maybe simple stuff to you but thats rocket science to me LOL
Engine bay looks V impressive though.
