Depends if you've got any oil needing to be caught? You can always run your cam cover vent into one rather than back into the intake piping?

Well thats the idea. They sit in between the cam cover and inlet manifold catching any junk that goes through. I know my last engine breathed a bit heavy and oil was present in the air filter housing. Anyone using one ??

I did and it seemed to do the trick. I'm not sure if Mr Nas fitted it this time round? Have you already got one? If not, I may have an alloy one knocking around the workshop.

Oil catch tanks are more of a motorsport requirement, so when she blowes you don't get oil on the track. An OEM apllication if running right should not need one
