Re: Catch Can Questions...
You know what else works? You're going to laff...
Cut off an inch or two of nylons & fold it over the breather bung. Then just put the vacuum hose over that. It's just fine enough to not let oil through, won't melt, but mainly it's very little work & you don't check it like a catch can.
Eh, it's worked for me for years. Old mechanic showed me that when we rebuild a set of 424 valve covers. One of the pushrods was blowing oil right into the breather pick-up. Needless to say, it burned two quarts of oil a week hahahahaha. Domestic engneering... Always good for a laff. =)

Bottom/backside of the block? I think my buddy was telling me about that on his GSR.

Re: Catch Can Questions...
Just copy this design but make a cheepo *** version. no breather needed. go from Valve Cover to oil catch, then oil catch to pre-turbo.. run the lines high n u dont need no ---- inside, jus let it fill up. and if ur wondering what that clear tube ---- on the side is, it shows u how full it gets n looks pretty cool imo
this is the exact same one im using n it works great. i dont like running straight from valve cover to pre turbo. i think it burns well when entering the throttle body. it gunked up my throttle body causing it to bog out at idle sometimes cuz it was gunking up the crack it used to idle. kinda like putting ur hand over the throttle body n it not being able to breath. im sure it should work on b series the same way. i never had one on my LS motor tho i jus let it blow all over my engine bay cuz i didnt care lol

What about putting in a check valve at the other end?
