    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Agree, that's the point of the can. Sounds like your worried about it overflowing so you drain the sludge back into the engine. Are you hooking this line to the top of the can or the bottom?

NO i am not worried about it overflowing. the chances are it will take 1000's of miles for any significant build up of anything in the catchtank but i will check it regularly and empty it if needed.

a catchtank is a requirement if you drag race so that is what it is primarily for

it goes into the can, which is vented. just stops any spillage going on to the rear tyre or on the road

Yep, spillage is a bad thing. Even off the track.

Ok I assume you don't want to answer the hose question so I will let it go.

Still like the cover idea.

i have answered your questions. what more do you want to know? its a breather than goes into a catch tank that is vented! there are your answers
 
I think he is asking about the hose that is hooked to your clutch cover. So you have a hose that comes off the top of the crank case to a catch. And where does the hose that is hooked to the clutch cover go? Same place?

yes the breather from the top of the cam cover goes to the same catch tank. sorry for any confusion :D
 
LMFAO!! I figured for sure you were avoiding it.

Why do you feel you need two vent lines from the cases?
 
christ .......how hard was that :)


is this a bit clearer for you. just a vent for pressure ... catchment can optional ;)

Here's a real bad photo of my project gs450 pseudo-tracker. Ill take a better one when she's all done. Try and ignore the yellow sv there...
 
I repainted my stock GS wheel with VHT wheel paint again. The first time was in 1987 and it held up suprisingly well. I filed out all the various nicks & marks from tire changes over the decades and polished the lip to 600 grit finish, could have used a professional buffer though. Probably have 15 hours in it. R&R the bearings to.

wow, they look good
i couldnt be bothered with all the prep and masking, etc, so i had my wheels powdercoated - not as nice as the polished alu lip, but still good

Yeah I agree, powdercoaters are 10X easier. I took the wheel to Denver Bumper to be dipped & stripped and they told me they could powdercoat but not the same shade of gold. Since the front wheel & brake discs were already painted I figured what the heck.

Thanks jwhelan65, for me I have always liked the contrasting look. Although I am losing my job in December, this is one of those PITA labor of love projects.
