Title: First Gen SV with Flatslides.

Where did you put your breather catch bottle?  Tail section?


CCS said pumping it down the stacks would not pass(Posted that awhile back.)

run it to a sealed, yet vented (you know what i mean) catch bottle zip tied to the subframe. We riveted  2 tiny 3/4 by 3/4 piece of angle aluminum to the subframe to make a base for a large red bull can sized metal bottle and hoseclamped it on. Pretty simple really. Just about anything will work.

CCS wants you to run the crankcase vent(s) to a 300cc (Min) catch can.  The overflow from this can must be routed to the intake area such that any overflow would be drawn into the engine.

Thanks.  Apparently they don't enforce the rule that yet another hose has to dump it back into the engine  I wasn't sure if I could put it somewhere the belly pan wouldn't catch it in the event it leaked.

My experience is that they do not enforce that second part of the rule either.  They really do not look at it at all.  Usually a problem like this would be identified in a post race inspection.  CCS only does post race inspections in SS, not SB.

I still believe that you should route the over flow to the carbs.  If you do have a problem, the wheels you might oil down could be yours or one of your friends.... It's not likely, but possible
