Sturdy & reliable
I've fitted many of these Navara units to a variety of vehicles, after running out of the now deleted (so I'm told) Utilux connectors. I also have them fitted on all my light trucks and Leyland Leopard bus. Cheap rubbish just isn't worth the down time spreading terminals & chasing bad connections.

Small, Highly Polished & Works Well.
I'm a 70 year old mechanical & electrical engineer who's fitted more oil catch-cans than I care to remember. I have a 1986 Harley Davidson motorcycle with an EVO 1338cc V-twin engine with 182,000 kilometres on the clock. Having a large crankshaft turning at high speed that's spraying oil out in small droplets from the big-end bearing, (having a needle roller bearing big-end, oil flow is much greater than that needed on a common slipper bearing requires). Mixed with natural blow-by, ventilation or breathing of the crankcase becomes a problem on combustion engines. The oil vapour, unlike in motor cars & trucks with engines between the wheels, can't be vented onto the road unless you like riding on a very slippery rear tyre. You could as is now the case in later models, vent the vapour into the air filter and recirculate it through the intake where it gets burnt in the combustion chambers. That would be good if the oil in the vapour didn't also stick to the inlet valves and build up hard carbon deposits on the exhaust valve that will either burn out the valve seat or jam the valve itself open resulting in bent push rods etc. But who wants to remove the heads every 30,000 kilometres? Anyway, the only answer is to remove the oil droplets from these vapours before it's either vented to the atmosphere or air intake. This oil catch-can is very small, made from solid aluminium and is very highly polished. Obviously, due to its size, it would need draining every 1,000 kilometres if used on a motor car or truck, but for my old Harley it will be good for 6 or 7 thousand and it takes only minutes to drop the plug & drain. My engine now stays dry & oil free, and my engine runs much cleaner. Even the filter on the breather remains clean. I didn't run it back through the intake as blow-by is mostly CO2 and I want oxygen going into the engine that is needed for fuel to burn & expand. This in turn, delivers more power & better fuel economy. The best part or most important to motorcycle owners, is that this unit looks great on your bike. My Electra Glide came with so much chrome, this breather/catch-can just blends in naturally. My EVO has never needed topping up with engine oil, however I have never agreed with recirculating crankcase vapours so previously just had a filter fitted on the breather hose end. Every now and then, generally when starting cold, I'd get about a half teaspoon of oil thrown out that spread over the inner primary case & near side crank case. A little oil spreads a long way and when dirt sticks to it, well let's say it doesn't look good and there's always a danger of it finding its way to the drive belt or the rear tyre. No more worries now or work cleaning. I haven't seen any oil on the motor since fitting this catch-can & breather. I've travelled 1,560 kilometres since fitting and I just checked the catch can for oil. On draining the catch-can I recovered a whole tablespoon of oil. I don't recommend reusing catch-can oil as dust or contaminants could get mixed in the captured oil before it gets put back in the oil tank. I obviously highly recommend this beautiful and very useful breather/catch-can for all large capacity V-twin engines and this 5 STAR eBay seller. PS. A bit of info: Large cc air cooled engines have an E grind on the piston due to the massive increase in piston expansion when warmed up, so when cold, extra blow-by is normal. With the later water cooled engines having a C grind, blow-by is not such a problem, however I still recommend fitting this catch-can to keep your valves & piston tops mostly carbon free. By purchasing a 3/8" barbed fitting, you can still route a second hose from the catch-can back to the intake fitting behind the air filter. I hope this is a useful article for you and recommend Googling the engineering facts & theory above to help you make an informed decision about purchasing. Always, enjoy your ride and be safe.

All the info you'll ever need on 2H, 12H-T Tojo engines.
This Landcruiser 2H, 12H-T Engine repair manual arrived as new. I've worked on more of these than I care to remember in a Toyota agency, but I'm getting a bit long in the tooth now (over 70) and don't completely trust my memory when dealing with specifications, clearances and such. I did have this manual years ago, but it seemed to have disappeared when I needed injection pump specs recently. I went straight to eBay and found this perfectly kept manual. We used these genuine Toyota books in the agency, and there isn't a more informative book on these engines anywhere. These later 2H engines were used right up until 89/90, when they went to the 1HZ engine, so lots of these engines were around back then. I still get to work on them from time to time and wouldn't be without the knowledge that this book contains. It gives me peace of mind knowing the job is done as Toyota demands which means a happy customer.
