Anyone using an oil catch can...

...for the valve cover vent? I am thinking about installing one inline between my air filter assembly and the valve cover breather and was looking for recommendations/pointers.

Check out the guys over at www.skidmarkracing.net

They have some pretty good pics of catchcans.

where the washer bottle goes. I fabricated a bracket for it and drilled two holes in the inner fender to attach.

I ran a braided steel line from the valve cover vent to the catch can routing the line around the bulkhead and inner fender.

I can e-mail you pics if you send me an e-mail. I got the Moroso vented unit from Summit Racing.

front bulk head next to the radiator near where the battery used to be. No fancy braided hose though, just about 3 feet of heater hose.

got to a junk yard and pick up an aluminum air conditioner expansion tank from an american car. They come in various sizes with different configurations of inlet and outlet ports. I have one as an puke can for the engine compartment and on as a vapor canister for the fuel cell on my race car. Since they are aluminum, they can be polished up no matter how bad they look. I have two that had a removal plug on the bottom. I put a rubber expansion plug with a petcock in the opening and oriented it downwards. Whenever I need to clean them out, I simply open the petcock and catch the fluid in a can. They look and work really great and only cost about three bucks each. Add a few labels printed up on the computer and you will have something that can rival any purpose built can.

Okay Todd, I'm inspired!! I'm off to the junkyard this week.
