    Talking Made my own oil breather kit for the Saleen...

    So the small K+N filters on my valve covers finally filled up with enough oil and started to drip a little on my valve covers.
    I hate leaks!

    The parts below were black and most places don't carry alot of this stuff in stock, so I had to mail order it.

    So I decided to ditch the filters and install my own breather kit.
    I used a tank from Jegs and used #12 fitting and line to a Y block.
    From the Y block I used #10 fittings and lines to the valve covers.
    I had to use a UNI bit and drill out the insides of the valve cover rubber grommets to get the #10 fittings to slide in, but it is tight and won't leak!

    Here's the parts I used -

    1 - 555-52203 BRETHR TANK -12 CLR SHORT ----79.99
    1 - 555-15169 Y-FTNG (1)12AN (2)10AN BL -----44.99
    2 - 555-100264 #10 90DEG FLARED BULKHEAD ---14.99
    3 - 555-110003 #10 STR HOSE END BLACK -------9.49
    2 - 555-110004 #12 STR HOSE END BLACK ------12.99
    1 - 799-632163 PROCLASSIC HOSE #10 6' -------49.99
    1 - 555-110023 #10 90 DEG HOSE END BLACK ---16.99

    I had a 3 foot piece of #12 hose already.

    Much better in looks and performance and easy to drain out any oil that accumulates in the tank.

    great thread!!

    I was trying to gather a list of parts to make the similar setup. I wanted to run from the Y to a separator, then back into the intake to my Vortech. I was trying to get away from having a open breather system.
