Oil catch can possable solution
Well i think i found a solution for the catch can that might just work.
This is a industrial separator & filtration system.
It is primarily used to separate water from fuels. Also can be used to filter water and other contaminants from low pressure air lines.
They are not cheap around $80.00
I received good pricing for quantities of 10 or more.
The replacement filter is $30.00. I'm going to put it on my car tonight. See if it works. I found a PCV valve at auto-zone that screws right into the inlet.

It is about the size of a c5 oil filter.
You can paint the filter and polish the top might make it look kewl.
Certainly it has to work better than the ebay can.
Normal retail on the unit is $98.00 I'm working with the manufacturer on the filtration properties.
It can handle 80 psi of fluid pressure. So a few pounds of vacuum will not hurt it at all.

I know it will catch oil just do not know how good of a job it will do.
So i'm the guinea pig again.
I have to change my setup because of ls1.
Would be good if someone else wants me to get them one for the z06 pcv system so more than one can test.
$80.00 plus shipping you would need to buy hose ends and pcv from autozone.

I have been looking into this too. But I think it's going to take an oil / air seperator, and not a oil / water seperator. If that is what that is designed for. But what the heck, try it out and let us know. It may just be the ticket.

Simply the hose from the valley cover goes into the can then out to the intake manifold.

I'm installing the ls6 valley cover tomorrow night.
I have to come up with a solution for one day for a Ls1 pcv system I removed today.

oil catch can possible
I have just installed a LS2 block in our 2003 coup. At a DE event two weeks ago, we blew out the oil dip stick and oil on the manifolds. I wanted to install a LS6 type valley cover. I do not know what Scoggin used when the build the system. However, you cannot use one of these in a LS2. Any have any ideas on what we need to do for DE days? Pewter and Yellow vette
