Crankcase pressure

Anyone done anything about it or had any issues with excessive crank case pressure?

Thinking about connecting the crank case breather pipe to a catch tank instead of up to the rocker cover in an attempt to lower crank case pressure.

I've made a cheap catch can out of a plastic bottle after spotting a little splatter of oil near breather. But it wasn't needed as it's gathered nothing at all over the last week.
The fitting on the cam cover connecting to the inlet mani is a one-way restriction valve so they won't be that much boost going in there anyway I'd have thought.

Have you put the breather pipe from the crankcase going into a bottle matey or the rocker cover to inlet one?

Ah... sorry i misunderstood what Matt meant.

I forgot there is another breather on the timing chain side of the engine.
