Oil tank

(1/8) > >>

ss4:
I need to add a oil breather tank.  is there a recommended size or sizing based on engine?  currently running a sbc360 with stack Hilborn  but will be working toward a blown sbc434.  also what size feed/exit lines from the valve covers.

dreracecar:
NHRA calls out for 1 gal minimum with 1" "ID" tubing from the covers to the tank

ricardo1967:
Can you guys recommend a type/brand for the 1" ID tubing?

Mine are made of clear plastic (Vinyl?) that gets very rigid after a while. It's a real pain to deal with it.

ss4:
Glad I asked thank you.  :D

Yes there is other things that one can use but tend to cost a lot more. Clear vinyl tube is cheap enough to change out every season for 10 years for what the other material cost plus clear gives you a visual indication of what is going on after the run.
