Crankcase Ventilation Fittings, etc.

Hi!

Where in USA or Canada could I locate crankcase ventilation fittings, hoses, etc. such as this one on Agemax's bike?

I have noticed a few kits in Europe, but did not see any on this side of the pond.

Thanks! :)
 
Does that run to a catch can?
Or is there a filter on the end of the hose?

Got it.
I think I need to do this as I'm pushing some oil from the shifter shaft seal. New seal, shifter shaft is in perfect condition.
I really do think I'm building a bit much case pressure, & I figure it can't hurt.
Looks like you have a -6 line there. I know the oil filler cap is M20x1.5 at least on a four valve motor, so this will be an easy one.
Is the adapter that the hose attaches to threaded into the filler cap piece?

no it is a push fit with an o ring. makes it easier to remove the hose if you need to undo the filler cap, also allows rotation of the hose to run it in what direction you require

i should add that i bought mine as a pre made kit from Goodridge. hard to find now but i found this dealer who sells them. scroll to bottom of page, that is exactly the same kit i have on my bike

Thanks for the link.
Wish there were prices.
Although it probably wouldn't make a lot of sense to buy it from
the UK.
I'll see if I can find a seller in the States, or, roll my own, as they say.

Another question, where did you end up routing the hose to?
I have a hose coming off the valve cover, routed back to just
in front of the license plate. Coming off of the filler cap, I
plan on running the hose to roughly the same area.
 
that would be good place to route it. i am going to change mine to a small ali catch tank under the seat

Greg for what ever it is worth:

At one point I was worried about excessive blowby pressure in my ED(because of oil leaks) . I already had a vent from the top of the valve cover to a catch can. I plumbed up an additional hose from my fill port "T"ed into the valve cover vent with an added pressure gauge at the fill port. After rifdding around, I never saw any pressure on the pressure gauge so I just removed the extra plumbing to the fill port.


Most of my leaks were from the stator cover and the oring around the starter, once that was sorted the bike runs dry (except for a ocassional leak at the base gasket).

Cheers

Not really finding what I was looking for, so........

A quick trip to the CNC lathe,

Follow by a stop at the CNC mill,

A little finish work. And there they are. A filler/breather cap for my 1150 & one for the Katana I'm getting ready to sell.

Now I need to buy a couple -10 AN fittings & some hose, plus a couple filters to attach to the ends of the hose.
 
Oh Greg, aren't we a smart one. With the spinny thing and water flowing and little bits of metal Everywhere. Now I dare you, double dog dare you, to include one of these works of art free with the top end oiler kits. THEN I would be impressed.

Truly great work. Will drool for hours. :clap:

OK, I am no master mechanic, but I do have a bit more than a basic grasp of mechanical concepts, and I am confused about these statements:

It is my understanding that the vent at the top of the valve cover is open to the entire crankcase and should probably handle any pressure build-up caused by anything short of broken rings. How can you build up pressure when you already have a direct vent to the atmosphere? :-k

.
 
My thought is that the small size of the of the hole isn't letting the case vent fast enough.
Am I correct? I don't know.
Leak down on the motor looks ok, and it was rebuilt about 13,000 miles ago.
Again, I figure it can't hurt.

I'll bet that if you put a pressure meter on that line, it won't show ANY pressure. :-\\\

Your only source of pressure in the crankcase is blowby.
You say that leakdown is good and the engine was recently rebuilt.
You should not have any blowby. :p

.
 
Very well could be.
But there are no perfect systems. When I leaked the motor down,
the test showed about 1-2%, which is totally acceptable.
Again, I don't know if this will do anything or not. But, I HAVE addressed
the seal & shifter shaft, so what will it hurt to try this?
Answer: It won't.
