Oil Catch Can...

I have done about 10 trckdays this summer, and evertime I have used about 1 qt of oil...undre normal use the car dosent use any oil, so this must be fumes etc from hard "red line" use. So i got to think that meybe next year is should use a oil catch tank/can..

has anybody here installed one?
which one to get?
where is a good places to install it in the engine bay?

I used this guys (Dave 68 on the forums post), as it is a real coalexcing filter for seperating oil, and due to my low tension rings I need one, and it works.

U dont have to, its a option. I did that in past did not helped, catch can is the best way, atleast to me, may be those vents on VC's will help on stroker's but i dont think on stock motors.

I installed mine here. Routed the lines down the passenger side AC lines to the firewall and through the back of the manifold/EGR area to the pcv connections.

Hey Steve, do you have two seperators? It looks like a husky inline and the watts by the radiator. Also, are you using stock valve covers and what breathers are you using?

Yes I have two seperators. The HOme Depot Ghetto version really is a water seperator, but works pretty well. I did it because I wanted to eliminate oil (for a visual )before the watts.
Great service from Dave and very high quality product.
I am using stock valve covers, with one breather as I have the DELTEQ on the other vale cover.
