Standout Picks for Your Build

Click to see why the Carbon Fiber Catch Tank for LO-206 is a game-changer

LO206 engines run hot and hard, but blow-by vapors can mess with your air-fuel mix. This BWC tank traps oil particles with its three dedicated fittings (1/4-inch inlet, 3/16-inch overflow, 5/16-inch outlet), keeping combustion clean. Carbon fiber keeps it light and tough against spills. Sold as a ready-to-route unit that streamlines your breather setup.

Quick Tip: Heat Defense

Grab the 1-Inch Silicone-Fiberglass Header Wrap Sleeve per Foot from Thermo-Tec. Slide it on headers up to 1 5/16-inch, clamp, and done. Silicone outer shrugs off moisture; fiberglass core locks in exhaust heat, protecting electronics and the driver area. Cut to length for a tidy engine bay.
