How much water do you get in your catch can with the external breather set up

 

I get none. That's because my DIY Breather goes up, not down, NO CATCH CAN. Gotta use some common sense. Air (crankcase pressure) is lighter than oil (crankcase air & oil mix) makes the vapor that comes out. My crankcase air goes out over the engine, under the tank & seat and drops down at the swingarm. No oil puking only crankcase air. Oil seep back down to crancase. Reroute you breather system and ditch the can.

 

There should not really be a need for any catch can at all. I run the hollow breather bolts with tiny mesh filters inside, straight to the atmosphere. There is a light oil mist on the nearby parts that I wipe off maybe once a month.

Excessive amounts of oil from the breathers is an indication something is not right with the engine I believe.

On big motors I get a lot.. I use a large catch tho.. It gives the venting time to cool enough for the water to condense out of the air. Couple oz. with some grey poupon on top.

 

I have a 103ci TC between 10.0 and 10.2
With static compression around 205 psi
I have a small DK catch can and between oil changes
I may get half an inch of oil in it.

 

I get hardly any oil in my catch can. Just a tiny bit of oil but a lot of water (1 to 1 1/2 ounces on start up and none after I ride about 20 miles) The question I asked was how much WATER does every one get? I am trying to see if I need to replace the breathers but because I get just a bit of oil I dont know if I need to change them. I am just concerned about the amount of water I get. So again I ask how much Water does every one get?

 

Please answer my question

I get some water in mine too ,never measured it . usually shows from shorter rides.

 

about how much? I get about 1 to 1 1/2 ounces in the first 10 to 20 miles and then nothing at all. Do you think I need new breathers?
