Jesus titty fucking christ. I think they want enough for it. Mishimoto (http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-baffled-oil-catch-can.html) makes one very similar and for just about as much too. Retarded when you can buy a Saikou Michi (http://www.saikoumichi.com/OCC_explanation.htm) for 1/4 the price IMO.

Are you talking about a surge tank or catch can here? Murlo says surge tank and website says catch can.

Apparently you (or I specifically?) cannot! I've emailed him several times with no response, and email is apparently the only way to order.

I was just researching surge tanks, that was when I say the catch can, the link was for a catch can.

Got the pistons/rods out of the old motor last night. Here's a look at the piston from cyl1:

Rings seem smooth but the crown (?) of the piston obviously has some damage around it. The marks on the piston line up with the marks on the cylinder wall, so that piece fo spark plug obviously got stuck alongside the edge of the piston/wall, did some damage and then either disintegrated or flew out the exhaust.

Little scuffing around the skirt, all cylinders have this but this one is about 10x worse than the others (due to the scraped cyl walls I'm sure):

Rod bearing on #1, a few others have small wear marks like this and the black around the one edge but for 25k miles of 550-600whp I'm thinking they are not too shabby!

Next to a 2G DSM rod for beef comparison. These rods are built for doing some epic power!
