Nice work and don't want to shit on your chips, but is that oil drain big enough ?

Hi I've done this setup on my mini more than 10 years ago and used the breather as an oil drain for the turbo. Unfortunately the oil will drop on the primary drop gear which will sort of flood dose little holes on the primary gear, causing the oil to pass from the bushes and leaking into the clutch especially on idle |

The reasoning might be that at any speed the primary gear will be throwing oil away from those little holes but, at idle, there will be little centrifugal/centripetal force to fling it away (none at all with the clutch depressed) so anything directed in that area could flow into the little holes instead of out.

After I've found that using the breather as an oil drain was causing the oil leak in the clutch housing I simply used the fuel pump hole as the oil drain . Even so if you make a sort of baffle as mentioned by Rod S your introducing almost boiling oil in the drop gear partition and its not the best thing for the drop gears. |

Ive seen a few sprints n chopped minis where the filler hole on the rocker cover is blanked off for clearance issues and they use the breather hole as a filler? How is it thats ok? Or is it purely cos its a hot return thats the problem? On 24th Oct, 2015 jonny f said:

Because you don't generally fill your engine with oil when it's running... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
