[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 736702, member: 3187"] I've also built my own. Made it as simple as possible, the significant difference to most home-made ones is that I use engine oil as the working fluid. This is self-damping so needs no real restrictor, I've just put some adjustable clips on the pipes, but these aren't needed. Also if any does get sucked into the engine, it will go in much more slowly than water so is less likely to form a hydraulic lock before you see what's going on. Works well for me.
