oil catch can??

[D323]

truth is you shouldent have blow by anyways. so you dont need a can, its just nice to have one espically if your raceing it. but i was getting some leakage into my mani from my PCV so i put in a small inline fuel filter to catch the oil. same ones you get for a 2 stroke bike. but then i just put on a B6T PCV and no leakage, but i still run the filter. i know some people like Bugs could use a good catch can

1970 VW fuel filter, or one from a gasoline powered lawnmower works like you said, and it usually dirt cheap.

But aren't the vast network of baffles in the valve cover suppose to work the oil out?

I've taken a valve cover apart, and there are I think at least 2 or 3 compartments that the air from the head has to go thru to exit thru that hole.

It's just interesting how oil still gets thru...

If you throw an oil catch can in, how often do you have to empty it?

It depends on how much blow by you get. if i had one i would never have to empty it. but most of them have an indicator on the side to see how full it is.
