My AIR/OIL separator install on 1996 Mark

opalescent 96

I've never seen a picture of an oil separator on a Gen I so I thought I should share in case someone else is thinking about doing the same thing.

I went with the small Jegs air/oil separator just because there is very little space to work with. I would have preferred a jar with more capacity so as not to empty it as much but I didn't think it would fit. The Jegs piece fits in there nicely and I mounted it as high as possible to make it easier to service. I drilled holes in the strut cover and used nuts and bolts to secure it. I had to buy the 90* 3/8 barbed fittings from Jegs at an additional $10. I used maybe just over a foot of hose.

I've only driven about 25 miles since installing it and I already see some oil... I'll report back once I accumulate more mileage on the regularity of oil dumps required.
