Pods, what to do with crank case breather.

[Mekanix]

Looking for idea's.

I've thought about using a small filter and just leave it out in the open.

What about routing it to the the sprocket cover to lubricate the chain?

[razor02097]

Most people just stick a filter on there and be done with it. Using blowby to lube the chain would probably be a bad idea... Hot motor oil will fling off the chain and get everywhere.

[Agemax]

it should be fine, if you have hot oil pumping out the top breather then you have serious engine problems

Here ya go, you should be able to search by now right?

I made a catch tank out of PVC pipe that I've cabled tied to my inner rear mudguard just above my custom made battery box cover. So far so good.

Geez that was slack of me... I never ended up putting pic's in that thread nor here!

So, I turned these bits:





Into this:



Which mounts with a breather filter like this:





It's been on for a while now and no dramas to date and I haven't had to empty it yet although there is a little blow by in there now...

lol I have a few ideas now. I know allot of people could use that idea when they switch to pods

Good job pete.

Cool, cheers mate. It's not the prettiest solution but it's what I had on hand and all I had to buy was a new breather filter and the hose fittings.

If I was going fancy I would've probably used some aluminium or something.

1970 T120 shows you where Triumph thought it was a good idea to place the breather:

It works.

Mine is a hose that goes to one of those small filters like Pete's under the seat. Pete's is a better setup though for sure. Better to have some kind of tank.
My filter sits in a cup & the cup catches any blowby. I change the tissue in there every few months when I remember.

The hose is angled up slightly up under the tank so that blowby has a chance to condense & run back down into the head.

Yeah my first plan was poorly thought out... hose ending in the breather filter but it was angled down to fit under the tank, which meant my nice new battery box covered I made and painted got sprayed by any drop of blow by while riding... not exactly a lot of oil but very annoying...

That's a real nice Trumpy but I can't spot the breather set up...

It's the grey hose on the rear mudguard. No need for a catch-can if you're just dripping the odd drop behind your back wheel. That's how they left the factory.

In 71 with the advent of the OIF bikes a small offshoot from the breather went up to the frame near the neck. I doubt if any oil ever made it up there when it was easier just to keep dripping behind the rear wheel. Still, it showed that BSA really cared about the environment.....

This is my solution, gets me a 6MPG increase and better low end. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot...eat=directlink

OldVet can you elaborate on what we are looking at? Thanks
