cool.

Emission crap, yep
Cleaner air in CA, nope
(that being said in all honesty it's good to have emissions on the cars and if we keep the performance car market alive the MFGs will figure out how to have high-performance clean emission cars, so I don't complain too much about it)


The breather that Leo and I have, on the pass side, does not drip oil. Have had it on for about a month with zero oil anywhere.

did she take her shirt off after winning the game and where is that shot



j/k great shot Ray

Maybe I need to make sure mine is clamped on then. I am running 11 pounds of boost though.


Although I don't even use the boost that often. It's not exactly safe. It's like trying to kill a fly with a 44 magnum.

I'm at 10lbs. 1lb. shouldn't make *that* much of a difference. Is it a straight shot from the valve cover into the breather ?? Ours has a sort of baffle so


I think I'm gonna make a couple White Russians to help the evening along

vodka = in the freezer

Straight shot. No baffle. It just sits on top. I think its the same as Bills. It should be anyway.

No booze over here. Well I've got some but its 12:43 not 10:43 over here. The wife bought some Christmas cookies at the bakery and I've been hitting those pretty hard.

I'll post a pic as soon as I can find one. Might help oil getting all over everything.

That being said, not trying to beat a dead horse. For me the breather is a temp solution. Once I figure out how/where to mount the catch can that I have it'll replace the breather.

In the part that goes into the cover is the baffle the actual breather is a straight shot.

At approximately 200 miles a month the breather works fine for me. So many other things to do first.


Brake ducts and PIAA lights are in the box waiting to go on the car in the Shelby lower grille set up. I was gonna try to install tomorrow.

I took a little over 300 shots in about an hour, my movement was limited because of the rain and it was getting dark fast. I can usually visualize the image just before it happens. It's a lot about anticipating the action.

Just wait until you have a daughter.

OH! I see now. That's a replacement for the oil fill cap! I just have a breather where the vac line goes into the valve cover from the intake. I still have the stock oil fill cap.

So I'm guessing thats my problem then, huh? All that pressure going through that little opening.

habu

There's always something to do on the car. I'm hoping to get new upper strut mounts and end-links going on sometime soon. It never ends

That'll be easy, I'll just make sure you're not there to take pics and post up to a bunch of dirty old-men




possibly, could be part of the problem. I'd imagine opening up the oil cap would reduce the pressure by a bunch. The breather is kind of expensive but it might be worth it.

Not bad, dude, not bad! Great facial expression. We you at max zoom? I used to shoot at night games, "ASA 3200" developed in HC-110 Replenisher! Holy black eye sockets!

My mother-in-law's here until Tuesday - no M&E for me...

JedCranium

Cool shot Ray! Man that chick in manly!

Hey what do you think of cropping it? Since it's a clash of the Titans shot! I want to know where #16 ended up after that body slam?

veilside.mustang

A critic! Never mind him, Ray! Just kidding...

GottaHaveIt

in the big picture she looks about to get a face plant, with that manley right arm there at her back , but on the othere hand manley looks about to get a cleat in the right foot !

I've have only seen oil breathers here ? so I know aboslutly nada about them so I have to ask how does replacing the oil filler cap with one of those do good ? please.

TacoBill

Yes, that will/should solve the problem of that little oil puddle on the camcover from the breather alone. I'll be getting that oil fill cap breather soon.

IMO, the breathers are not a temporary fix, they are the ideal solution. With the exception of that belt driven vacuum pump that Jed posted about a while back, there's always the possibility of oil gunk that passes thru any catch can and gets re-introduced back into the intake.

A guy installed 2 seperators (just like Jed's) inline and both collected gunk!

The chance of gunk re-entry with breathers is... ZERO. Nuff said.

TacoBill

Brian, from everything I've read on breathers on FI cars (as it applies to our S197's), you're not supposed to install just one breather, must install on both sides.

I don't know the exact reason why or what harm it will cause, you may want to look into it if you're planning on running that oil fill breather for a while. Just looking out for ya!

habu

Thanks dude

Now what I should do then, is put a regular K&N style like you have on the drivers side ? but won't that then splatter all over ? OR would it be better to leave the breather on the pass side and the catch can on the drivers ? I'd prefer to run the catch can if possible since I can drain it.

TacoBill

Taco Garage was open this morning.. even in the rain!

Luis came to install the swaybar delete/radiator support bar.







This lower radiator hose support clip is something new.


Here's Data holding up the radiator for the swap.




Installed!
