[Vwdiesel] Oil Breather kit ?

[Travelbike at aol.com]

Just finished building my homebrew breather kit.  USed 2" copper plumbing
tube and a an L fitting and soldered them all forming an L about 6" tall.
Should have used a U fitting but the L fitting was the only one I had.  Hose
from valve cover goes to a fitting on end of the U and another hose exits the
other U end going to the air intake box.  Used about 2" of hose on each end
and mounted the box on left hand firewall. Just used plumbing copper
pippe/fitting/solder .  Left the ends unsoldered just taped together as I may
want to put a filter/baffle later on. At the base of the L fitting, I brazed
a threaded hole so I can empty any oil that may accumulate inside.  Mounted
the whole fiixture like the letter V so any oil would flow down to the V apex.

Been driving it a few days now and it seems smoke is not as bad as before.
Only when you really gun it.  Did not put baffles inside the breather box.  I
might try putting some sort of coarse steel filter or even a bottle cleaning
brush as a baffle.

ALso extended the air intake tube of the air filter.  BOught some flex tubing
from Kragen, duct taped it to the end of the filter intake and put the longer
intake end on the corner of the front headlight where fresh air can be sucked
in.

Hope this helps
