Wipped this up today since I'm going on a long journey and tired of oil pi$$ing everywhere..

 

Quite impressed..Better then a coke bottle anyway

how is it depressurising christopher??

erm......is the tank completely sealed?? Just it looks like it in the pictures. The tank has to vent to atmosphere (hence why it is part of the breather system). If you've turned it into a sealed unit, it will pressurise the oil system, force oil through the head and lead to lots of smoke from the exhaust!

The design incorporated a specially designed beathable cap. Namely lots of finely drilled holes in the pastic cap

 

Don't you think that will be enough? I can feel air coming out of it anyway. I was thinking of putting a crancase filter in the cap at a later stage maybe..

That's what I've done on mine. You'll instantly know if it isn't working properly!
