Diy: Oil Catch Can
there is no actual pic for now...
this can be applied to all engine..

tools needed: plires
use 10mm hose or 9 mm hose for this setup. just run the hose from PCV to catch can and the 2nd nozzel on the catch can, run it on the intake manifold oil feed..



PCV location for the k20's



this i have in mind... for having the valve cover breather connected.
pics of oil catch can...but they are for sale now..

Marvie was commenting that he was having oil blow out of the breather filter that connects to the valve cover. The configuration that you drew is fine, but you just need to add a one way check valve between the intake manifold and catch can.

I think that you are cutting yourself short...At least three catch cans are required to solve the problem as well as provide the necessary clutter in the engine bay.

Then why not just plug the connection on the valve cover itself?

i didn't know that could be done...
i always thought it had to be an outlet ...

my reasoning was it came with a hose stock so it has to to be open to let something out ...

can it be plugged? is that a good thing?

Well...If you are connecting the line to a catch can and then capping off the other connection on the catch can, then you might as well eliminate that catch can all together.
