Catching blow by

I'll have to see if I can rotate mine.

To 'rotate' mine, I had to buy a new elbow and cut a new hole

That was a somewhat sizable investment to test your hunch. Lucky it panned out for you!

Same here. At least slow it down some.
Also shocked Bison tried a provent. I thought he was born venting to the atmosphere.

And surprised on the 12:00 vs 3:00. Air flow huh?

My guess is that gravity is his friend. 12 o'clock position would tend to run any liquid back to the catch can.

Minor investment as it was just one 90* elbow that was replaced.

Perhaps. I did notice that the rate of oil collection increased after the vent relocation to 12 O'clock.

Am tempted to add a stainless scrubber to the can.

It cant hurt, unless you dont secure it good and let it scrub the blades...

Well, I'm funny on my home planet.

Seriously, its worth a shot. The more oil you can keep from burning theough the intake the better. Send your oil through the IP and injectors where it belongs is my theory.

Perhaps a vacuum/pressure gauge ran to an old oil fill cap to monitor whats really happening, hose theough the window for test driving.

Really we just dont want any pressure in the crankcase. Not sucking oil fumes is great- but if seeing any pressure (most likely during boost) is the concearn.

A guy could test multiple areas to learn highest vacuum point, but a larger hose pulling more volume less pressure evacuates more, and makes oil coalesce easier. So the highest vacuum point may not be needed. I wish someone would hurry up and invent the vacuum/ pressure inductive meter- haha.

I found that any tubing w/smaller ID than the factory CDR tube can increase case pressure to the point of making the rear main leak.

Makes gapless rings sound better all the time.

Soooooooo true!

I connected my setup to the intake today to see how it does. I'll look for some scrubbers to add inside the can until I find a reasonable provent.

Got it close to 12 o clock orientation

I like where you mounted the unit.

Bronze or stainless wool will do just fine for that setup......

Tossed in a stainless scrubber earlier and added the missing 4.5" intake clamps. Will have a few hundred miles on it this week and will update after. Thanks all.

You can get a package of five smaller stainless steel or a package of two big ones for a buck at Dollar Tree.
