I ordered some of this Duocel stuff. It's sheets of 'foamed' 6101-T6 aluminum. I'm going to form a brick that will slip into the stock oil filler tower and hopefully provide significant oil vapor separation from the crankcase ventilation air. Ideally, by slipping this into the stock tower, I can run the breather tube to a carb or FI intake and not have to stress/dealwith large quantities of oil collecting in the intake or fouling the carbs.
Why not a traditional foam? This stuff won't break down over time. Not cheap though. Each 4" x 4" x 0.5" sheet is $30. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) Oh and if this works it'll appear Original while being Custom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) Attached image(s)

Seems like it's perfect for this application. See below:
Liquid/Gas Separators - The three-dimensional continuous ligament structure of Duocel foam promotes complete removal of entrained liquids. Aluminum foam alone or with standard surface treatments ensures long life and low maintenance. With up to 97% void volume, extremely small pressure drops can be achieved. The continuously connected aluminum structure prevents particle generation from within the liquid/gas separator. |
