I thought the purpose of a catch can of that style is to allow your engine to breathe and release crankcase pressure, what is the purpose of catching the oil in a can other than the oil pan if its not releiving crankase pressure? a catch can that goes between the the pcv line to the intake to catch blowby on a low power motor will make more sense than a can just to catch oil from the valve cover. not hating by any means, I like the work you done on the cans, but a breather will make it usefull.

The hole in the bottom is just a drain, this is just a catch can, kinda modeled after the greddy ones, just with -8 AN's

seems pretty simple of a concept

This is actually kinda funny you posted this, im working on a project for a friend of mine just like this.

This is a model of what im trying to do. PS I dont think the AN's are the right size in my model but I dont have any -10's to use

I think you should, if you can make these cans for a fraction of the price I paid for mine you will control the catch can world. there are no patent on them so free game. I am surprized wier arent making these already, just change the design a little.
