You might find it useful to search this board for Kuhleast, the seller of the item. I think you'll find some useful information.

Brian,
<img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" /> - I think Devek are the only one, who had done some seriously with this problem, Se:http://www.devek.net/index.php?page=nfo_tech_tips - 'Oil driven detonation' and 'The fix'

Erik,
Brian is referring to Devek's reliance on cold hard evidence when he says "This isn't Devek's World". He's giving Devek a compliment.
Not only do the parts in the picture make no sense to Marc, but the information in the text is bull$hit as well.
Completely in keeping with the seller's reputation.

Jack........Sorry but that looks like the photo of a Led Zepplin CD and some druggie stuff off of one COPS shows, front seat closeups. (Ok, whats in your pockets ).

As far as I know, the stuff he describes is when you DO in-fact have bad rings and valve guides/seals. The breather items are needed to take any blow-by fumes and reburn, so the oil is less contaminated.

As ErnestSw says, suggest you check the e-bay feedback, not only for this name but also lifestyle_26 (same guy...he has $120 of mine and I have nothing. Of course, it could still be in Customs after 7 months......

It looks like a little canister to seperate and capture the oil.

Who knows, I am just going to install the baffle during my rebuild for safety reasons!

The crankcase still needs to be able to breathe, no matter what.

Oh, well I think the fact that it says MotoDyne should automatically make it worth NOTHING. If you know the name, you know what I'm talking about: undelivered products, lawsuits, death threats, etc. That looks like some cheap parts taken from a local hardware store and sold as some lame kit. I'd like to know what he says about how its supposed to work though... Looks like it just blocks off an oil line to the intake with a cheap valve and then put the excess oil into a really small container. ???

Ok guy's I ended up buying this set-up and I could not believe how fast it made my 0-60 times. Just kidding, I did purchase this from kuhleast but never installed it. First off the white object is not a canister but a piece of pvc adapter. I received a hose connected to that pvc with a shut-off valve. He told me to disconnect my hose from along top of my oil filler cap and connect one end of the supplied hose to it then reattach the other end back to the opposite end of the disconnected hose and keep the valve closed. After seeing a few post's about this guy I trusted not to install it. Anybody need a garden hose adapter with shut-off. Sal
