Rick,

Only problem I had was fitting one too low, with an APE breather cover without baffles. :shock:

It was fine whilst taking things steady, but once I gave it 'the beans' the oil couldn't get out fast enough. :evil:

Solved the problem by fitting a taller pipe, similar to the one in your pic.

did the same with a halfords filter,but dropped a ball bearing in like t section pipe to act as a one way valve to help solidify oil mist back to chamber.

Not sure yet if its helping with my total oil loss i seem to be having,as it was an open air system prior :D
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, beer in the other, body used up, totally worn-out and screaming, "WOO HOO, what a ride!"
