no pics, but something i have considered doing. one can even make a catch can out of an old soup can. the rest is simply rigging up the plumbing.
so no real help to you, but a bump. good luck.

Send me a pm dany with your email address and I'll send you a couple of pics of my catch can set up.

If your NA then you can also try a restrictor in the line from the TB to the valve cover line. I use a 1/4" pipe fitting cut off to about 1/2" long with a 1/16" hole. This greatly reduced my oil consumption with my Edelbrock Performer intake.

You can see some pics at http://geocities.com/dbennettya/Mustang_PCM

There are two pics starting with restrictor. The restrictor goes in the hose next to the TB. It slows down the airflow through the crankcase. The problem here is that once the oil gets past the PCV valve it can only go into the motor or be trapped by a catch can.

Good Luck, Don

How long have you been doing this? Also, how is the vacuum at the pcv valve now? Any increase in noise from the valve train?

I'm thinking of doing the same rather then doing the catch can...just been too lazy to get off my ass and do it .

Blandnuts,

No increase in valve train noise and slight increase in CC vacuum (haven't measured) but i had a very slow leak on the pan gasket at the rear and it has pretty much stopped.
