Default oil catch tanks

the normal oil breather system is routed back to the inlet manifold, when the breathers are moved to a catch can which actually catches more water than oil. It allows for a better burn of the fuel air mix going into the cylinders. also removes condensation from the oil hence the water in the can.


some people vent them straight out the bottom of the car saves on emptying the can.
