ah, I always wondered what the catch cans were for.



My 12a used to spray oil onto the inside of my bonnet all the time???



I'll have to invest in (make) one for the 13BT.

Setzep already answered, but pretty much any will work as long as is it's not sealed.

So it has to be vent too then.I think a 1 liter pop bottle will work for a while. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If you don't want a can cluttering up your engine bay you can always just run a hose down to the bottom of you engine and let the blowby drain onto the ground.

Don't do that!!



How you wouldn't like to be driving on oil slicked roads, would you?

Or you family? Or your girlfriend? Etc.



Use a tin can if you have to, but don't drain on the street.

like I said before, it's only a few drips per few hrs of run time. I'm sure 90% of the cars on the road today drip more oil in one day than my car does in a week,



But I suppose if you must have a squeaky clean garage floor you should put a catch can in there.

That and your car should look as good as the money you invested in it.Thats why mine is getting paint this fall. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
