Ford Performance Air/oil seperator installation questions.

@AZ_Ryan It looks like you'll want to put your catch can mount under the reservoir tab. With the can mounted on the bracket does it clear the reservoir?

Thanks for the pics

I have some rotation capability on mine but not much if I want to keep stress off the hoses.

You cant put the bracket under the tab. The two prongs bend downward so it prevents that. They're made to mount ontop of the screw and nut.

I may cut the tabs and try it that way over the weekend.

Ah. I see now how yours fits. No clearance where the catch can sits next to the corner of the reservoir. You may want to consider the J&L. It's a quality piece and less expensive too. If you're ok with one side.

Here are the pictures of the Anchor room coolant tank. As you can see my bracket is too wide to fit over the nut.

The J&L one might work better since it mounts under the tab. But I still suspect the corner of the bracket may not clear the corner of the cover.

whats the alleged advantage of that Anchor Tank?

It fits fine. The only issue is the coolant cover is in the way. Ill either modify the tank cover or the bracket to make it work. Ive already purchased the Ford Performance kit, so buying another AOS is out of the question. Plus, I prefer the Ford version as it doesnt effect the warranty and looks factory.

I got the drivers side on today. It just took a little modding to the bracket and tank cover.

How would you rate difficulty of maintenance?

It takes 30 seconds to disconnect the lines and pull the cans out. The cans themselves have four screws you need to undo to seperate the bottom and pour out the oil. Id say it would take no more than 5 mins per side to empty and re-install.
