Looking for advice on air-oil separators for a Tiger.  I keep the oil at 6 qts.
but still get oil on the belly. 
Does the M-20 unit work as advertised??

I appreciate any input anyone can offer.

Dave ... check how far your oil relief tube penetrates into the air stream.

I think the desired number is 1.25 inches.

Mine was more, and when I reduced the amount below the cowl to 1.25 inches 
the belly stayed cleaner...

My experience is taht the M-20 doesn't have the volume necessary to be of 
much help.   That, and it doesn't have a positive flow back to the engine.   If

you want an air-oil separator, look into getting the Walker (Air-Wolf) air-oil

separator.
