Oil catch can question ?

Post by filiboy »

I've read a lot about this but I could't find an answer to what I did, although I haven't started my engine yet. Many posts advise to buy an oil catch can with filter on the top. However, I still need vacuum for the oil mist. So I put an oil filter on the valve cover oil mist exit, and I'm going to use the stock oil catch can fоr the crankcase (sump) exit only with vacuum from the intake. Is this correct ? :beer

Should be fine, the one from the top of the rocker cover normally goes to the emissions canister in the engine bay.

its an oil breathing outlet for the engine, and mist is a result of that


the vaccum line is probably something for the flow back into the intake and the valnas sensor to that...
