Or, you could vent the crankcase breather (after the PCV valve) to the road, and join the 2 camcover breathers together and put a mini K&N filter on the end

I didn't want to pay over £50 for a shiney bottle, and haven't had any problems with my setup, as above

To do it right you should blank the PCV port, using a catch tank allows you to sense check engine health in addition to being at least a little bit environmentaly astute. Cam covers are already joined btw.

Easy mod once you figure out what Bob says.
I used a Halford's cyclists drink bottle and some aquatic pond pipe/elbows/Tees and the cost was abouy £15 all up plus about an hour of messing about.

After 6 months running now there is NO oil in the bottle, and NO oil in the TMIC, just Optimax as Shell meant it to be....

I detailed the whole thing in my Thread in Projects with pics.

Nice mod, cheap and interesting.
Graham.
