no-one has a clue where morayfield is, so ive done everything but give directions and a map reference. Is always good though. Turns out a guy i was talking to about selling parts lived about 30sec away, but had no area listed. Found out when he gave a postcode for postage.

Atwell WA Is Perth Metro about 16 minutes from the city straight down the freeway. That is if there isnt any roadworks or train line works and not in peak hour :D

Glenn, EVERYTHING is 15 minutes away from the city in Perth, I've noticed...

The only time you spend more than 15 minutes travelling over there is of you're going past the city to somewhere on the other side, or if you're leaving Perth metro!

Perth peak period = 15mins worth of traffic in the morning and night, each way.

Sydney peak period = anytime between 6.30 and 9.30 in the mornings, and 4.30 and 7.00 at night, each way.

<====== Oh yeah, I'm here, by the way.

I wish everything wa sonly 15 minutes away but the government has been building anew Perth to Mandurah rail link right down the Middle of the Kwinana freeway whilst this doesnt put anymore cars on the road the numerous speed changes from 100 to 60 to 80 to 60 to 100 and so forth seem to confuse people as well as the lane diversions and closures which only sloq us down as Perth drivers seem to have an inability to merge with other traffic. I drive to work in Joondalup in the mornings which is a 50k drive from my house and if I leave early enough it only takes 30 minutes but if I get stiuck in traffic it takes over an hour.

Once the roadworks are done at the beginning of next year though it will all be good

and I am sure anyone who lives north of Perth who has to use the Mitchell freeway to get to work will tell you how bad that is with no roadworks

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
