As per my PM Andy - I am happy to braze the pipe on for you if it is easier than getting your mate to do it.

Finally finished rerouting the pipework and installing the elbows and reducers. Only have to make another brace for the allie angle (not really needed) and paint the bracket black. Here is the finished job.

Provent troubleshooting?

Hello i'm new here,

i recently installed a provent 200 filter exactly like on this forum, but i ham having a problem with the oil coming out of the top of the provent, has anyone else had this problem? if so is there any way of solving it, e.g removing the one way check valve or setting the pressure regulators correctly?

kind regards stephen .

If oil is coming out the top, then you have too much pressure drop across the element - i.e. the element is due for replacement.

If you block off the top valve, your crankcase pressure will eventually become too high, and may cause oil seals to fail.

Check that the (gas) outlet valve is open.

If the filter hasn't lasted long, it may mean your engine is on the way out (breathing heavily)

Ok will check that it is open in the morning, i just installed it as it came from the supplier, the filter is only a couple of months old so i cant see oil being that it is worn already, just hope that my engine is not on its way!

How many miles have you done in those "couple of months"?

How cold is it where you are? What viscosity oil are you running and when was it last changed?

Hi its been really cold the past few weeks, snowing today and last week, maybe done 1500-2500 miles if that. i run 5w 30 oil and it was changed 6 months ago max.

i havent checked the air outlet regulator yet, as i fitted the provent as it came from factory.

i have a feeling its not set up right but somebody was saying that it might not have enough pressure to get back into the sump, or i might have done something really daft and put the check valve in the wrong way!!!

You don't need pressure to drain the oil out, it drains fine just under gravity, as long as the hose angles continuously downward, and the valve is the right way around.

Can you post some pics of your install???
