Can't you run it into a catch can? Running one out behind the car is potentially very dangerous to other drivers, and could possibly get you into a lot of trouble.

 

I am getting my cam covers polished so want to weld in the 12 AN fittings prior, what every members suggest , I just read run them out the back

 

Just not paying for some fabricators holiday based on the prices of these Aluminium units :)

 

Any advise welcome !

I'd run it out the back still, if the worst was to happen and the engine blows up, them little catch cans won't hold 5 litres of oil, it's still going to spray over the engine and possibly catch fire.

 

I'd leave it as stock ( engine fails the oil will pump out the exhaust) or run the breather lines to the back of the car.

In over 40 years I have yet to see an engine failure where a lot of oil exits the top breather system. Thev recent Porsche fires have been due to con rods punching holes in the engine block. Running lines to the back of the car is utterly bizarre!

 

Thanks Chris , I will stick with OEM setup so :)
