In Reply To	wouldn't an oil catch can would be better than a filter ? (n/m) posted by The Devils Z on April 19, 2011 at 05:10 PM
Message	I ran a filter type on my Talon and once in a while the oil would still come out of the filter.. A catch can would be a better route. Since my talon wasn't my DD.. I just ran a hose that was looped around itself a few wraps.. then zip tied.. I would check it and "drain" it once in a while.. usually just a very small amount in there though. _________________________________________________________________________ ~~~ Sig starts below ~~~ ================================================================= NO, This picture is not photoshopped.
