Cylinder head crankcase breather inlet

Thanks for the reply Rohan. We have a catch can on our elan from the front of the cam cover and it works well, but the engine still leaks oil after 15k miles. I have a Cortina with Twincam and thinking of the "Moroso MO25900" kit as we did this kit to a Healey and it greatly reduced the amount of pressure in the engine and helped a lot with oil leaks. With the Kit installed and engine running you can feel he suction when placing your finger over the pipe, it also has a one way valve to stop any backfiring. Im hoping someone has placed this on and can ggive me feedback if it worked or presented more problems

I guess its worth a try. The suction point on the exhaust would need to be near the end of the header where pressure and suction pulses would be generated. The suction pulse would open the check valve to suck crankcase vapors out. I presume it comes with instructions on how to set it up. Where is the engine leaking from and how much blowby does the engine have ?
cheers
