Default Horn!!!

Horn, I don’t know anything about no horn :-)
Beep beep!

My oil separator has a drain back hose that goes to the drain back tube under cylinder # 3. This is the common setup for it.

Got it... in the pic it shows it capped off. I thought maybe you were of the mindset draining back to crankcase was bad. Wondering how quickly it "accumulates".

Default Oil seperator

Oh, I see that now. No, it goes to the drain back tube. This picture was taken while I was reinstalling my engine and that is the only reason it was capped off.
