Hi all.
Why is a rocker cover breather needed in a cross flow, surely it could do all its breathing through the crankcase breather, mine has a mesh vented cap
but I want to get rid of it. My thinking is if I have a catch tank mounted as high as it can be and filled with mesh with the breather entering the
base and venting through a pipe at the top the oil caught would drain back to the sump when its not running.
Breather pipe to the base would fill with oil and foam up like bubble bath
Your trying to vent through the oil
Best to pipe to the top and drain through the bottom
Have a look through this link
I have pipe from crank to rocker cover .
Then a pipe from rocker to a catch tank.
All good
Cured oil surge by moving oil pick from rear of engine up to front end of sump..
All good
