There is no "executive summary" consensus.

Right now I am running all lines hooked up with filters/catch cans.

You can see the Husky filter in my pic above. One of those in the fresh air line from valve cover. Then a AMW can and a Husky in line from valley cover to intake manifold.

That way I have no unmetered air and hopefully negligable oil vapor getting to intake.

Just buy catch cans or Husky (Campbell/Housefield from Home depot) and splice them into your existing lines.

Search for Husky or Campbell or HD Filter......for more info.

Here is my customized filter. It should trap MOST oil vapor. Flow is down thru 3/8 hose attached to where the stone filter was removed...into and thru the mesh....then back out the top.
