Normspeed Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks tacky but it works...I just realized it's been probably 2-3 years since I made up an oil baffle for my rear crankcase breather, and have not seen a drip of oil from there since I installed it. I know, it looks awful, but something of a prototype that worked so well I forgot it was even there. I cut up an aluminum beverage can and installed it in an old breather I had, using 5 minute epoxy. Still use the fiber filter that goes in the canister. The baffle lets oil accumulate and run back into the crankcase instead of dripping.

Normspeed Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yup. Just give me some 2 part epoxy, some zip ties, and a big hammer, and I could RULE THE WORLD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cipponeri Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 WHEW, I am glad it was the car, I thought you were going to have to see a doctor. Tony C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
