Do you think this will work?

[lineslinger]

Thanks for the shots Jamo,
Seems such a simple way to draw the vapors out, just the vacum created by the air passing under the car, wouldn't have thought it would be that easy.
The configuration of having the return line from the collector tank to the oil pan........you don't have any reverse pressure problems there? Oil dosen't try to climb up the line into your collector tank? Either way thanks for the explanation, gives me something to think about.
Also are your valve cover breathers the double eared screw in type or the slip fit style that uses the rubber grommet, looks like they offer a lot more "breathability" than what I have installed.

Morris,
Is that you adjusting the wing on the Cobra? Beautiful car, I was impressed with the way you had it laid out. I got some shots of you running down the straight, your engine has a great sound to it.

lineslinger...you're welcome.

No problem with oil climbing up from the pan at all. Very little oil drops down from the separator...mostly vapor.

Just the rubber push in type. Those holes are threaded for AN fittings for a more elaborate system if ever I want to put one in (just seems too modern for me), so they grip really tight.

Yes that is me adjusting the wing......and those are some great shots of the car........ do you have one when we had it on jack stands...???

And the set up Jamo is using is what we were using on CSX 4303 ..... Red .....

And it had oil coming out of the breather on the passenger side .....so we took the cap off of the catch can and put scotch brite over the hole and cable tied...... and it reduced the amount of oil coming out of the breather....... on the passenger side....... because that cap on the catch can only has a small vent hole.....

If you run the motor up in the 6500-7000 rpm's ....it's just pushing to much air..... and Gateway on the oval is a different issue....

Here you go Morris, these are what I shot in the short time I was there. I don't plan on heading in to those RPM ranges any time soon, this whole FE game is still relatively new to me so I am still in the trial and error stage, doing my best to avoid the errors.
BTW if you are interested in any actual prints of your car PM me and I will see what I can come up with.





I stopped down on this one for more contrast, I like the way it come out more so than the others

Mark

Thanks those are exactly what I was looking for........that jack stand idea worked out great..... especially if we are working on the belly pan....

Morris

[lineslinger]

I am waiting for someone to ask how you get the tire on with the jack stand placed where it is.........................

[Jamo]

I imagine the Gateway Oval could be tough, Mo ol buddy...but I didn't run into problems with anything coming out of the breathers running 6-7,000 on the FONTANA SUPERDUPERFREEKINGSPEEDWAY during SAAC in 2005.

Come on, I know it's not all modern and pretty, but it's assactly the way they did it on the originals running high engine speeds all damn day at the tracks, and for some doggone reason....it still works.

KISS...still a valid concept. NASA spent a bunch of money with Fisher to invent the Space Pen to work in zero gravity. The Russians used pencils.

Had similar problem.

Solved it with similar solution as Rick Lake. I still run filter down the back of the engine. There is still some moisture that comes out the back filter, but enough to cause any concern.

My solution was more than $12 only because I bought new valve covers.

Lineslinger Professor Morris is using the nascar way, see the arrow on the side of the car pointing down, that's the jack mount. For a 1/4 of a zillion dollars, Morris car is prettier. My car may have been broken but didn't have to push start it. I did like the pyrotechnics. I sure that that problem was fixed. You took a picture of my butt working on the car. THANKS I have a kitchen to do, cobra away for the winter, yeah 64f outside and I was at work all day. Will see in the spring time which way I am going. May take the year off and build the other motor. Right now I am paying off the spring bill thanks to the professor. Hope you and the family have a good holiday Rick Lake. Next time comeup and say Hi. Bring the car next year.

[Morris]

Jamo

That's a good point.....and I agree with the KISS.....method......

If it works don't change it....

And I'd love to run on the Fontana Oval...... once we get a few changes made.....

And we do use pencils all of the time.....ones with big erasers......

[Morris]

Rick

The flames were a added bonus ...just for my pals..... and thank god it fired when we pushed it or...... it might have been a different show.....

Glad to here things are settling down.... we have KMP 259 all apart again making changes..... hopefully for the better....

And yes let's test the springs ...next year......
