    I am mainly interested in running an oil cooler. What do I need to set up that?

    Is it possible to put a 1-way valve the thing on the return line?

    EDIT: Like what swatdoc did with his graves tank on his yammy 450;

    My problem with the Graves on our bikes is how small the oil return line is and how close the check valve is to the box. When oil loads in the box there isn't much drop on the return line to build enough head pressure to overcome crankcase pressure, it probably drains after the engine is off. On our bikes that box would not handle the blow-by during warm up , that is if you want to run 1400+cc oil . During my tests i was able to back flow into my funnel at a fairly high rate and the engine would obsorbe it back fast , that was with 2000cc. With 1600 cc I was able to see a steady flow out the breather then it stopped, possibly the oil wasn't warm enough or there was high oil around the torque converter and was shooting right at the breather, possibly steep hill climbs and decent could trigger this blow by too.

    I know how to solve this whole mess. Just watch an episode of American Moonshiners and learn from them boys. All we need is a 5' length of stainless tubing wrapped into a 4-6” diameter coil instead of a bottle.

    Just like fine corn squeezins, that coil will cool and condense the oil fog and allow it to return to the case either with a modified filler cap, or the bung and fitting.

    Disclaimer...if you think I'm making fun of my southern brothers, well I ain't. Hell I'm from Kentucky.
    2nd disclaimer....this will not turn your TE into a still for making fine liquor and it is not recommended you fill the crankcase with sweet mash.

    Yes the coil ! Ha ha those are easy , just fill the tubing with sand before wraping to get the mandrel bends , if you go with brass coils heat the tubing with a torch then dip into a cold bucket of water, you will be able to wrap into a knot :)

    Simple solution, Maybe I will spray my engine with this stuff below and let the oil roll off :lol: Cool stuff.

    Kidding, Keep up the great work!

    If the torque converter won't handle the heat of blow-by gasses then I didn't see a test that tellz me that's the shit ! Ha ha
