http://www.theoldone.com/components/breather



many of you proly went thru this already and are pretty experienced at it.
so please teach me. im willing to learn.
i wish i could get the endyn pcv breather kit in "just a flick" but i may have to go the other way: home-made kit.
i would like to know how to make one for my frank motor. - it did not come with the black box.
and what are the advantages/disadvantages comparing to the endyn pcv kit?
which one is better? (endyns or home-made)
any lessons will help me understand this more so
thank you very much in advan.

The Endyn kit is basically "home made". They use a moroso catch can that has Baffles in it to keep the oil from sucking into the PCV valve. You can make one by using the same parts as them, but it will be time consuming.

Are you not able to find some one who sells the kit?? Let me knw either way!! I can explain how to make one, but trust me, I would buy one!

Peace

Anyone know where I can find the clear hoses that endyn uses? Any clear hose that is high temp safe is fine...

You Need to BUY a breather "kit" ? geez.
Idea is to get as many square inches of Opening area as possible out of the Crankcase and the Valve cover. Bigger IS better. Crappy PCV systems use manifold Vacuum to suck out (some) thru teeny tubes.. works, and is emissions friendly but hardly Performance.
Clear tubing from a Marine Shop Lotsa sizes Direct it up wards so oil flows back in them loop it into a catch can .. a Can .. of almost any type will do. Baffles not required :-) Remember to dump the accumulated goo frequently, and kleep an eye on yer Dipstick levels.
This is for perf , not saving every drop of Oil :-).

I agree it's for performance, but I tend to relate not losing oil to a healthy motor. What good is making alot of power if you can't finish the race because your motor blows up because you ran low on oil?
