Re: Oil catcher for SVX

Somebody, please correct me if I'm wrong.

In its naturally aspirated state, the SVX's H6 and your everyday H4s effectively require two catch cans to cover the whole system - one for the valve covers and one for the PCV system. The question has been raised on NASIOC as to whether the valve covers actually need a catch can at all.

A 2-to-1 like the oil cap shown above might have merit in that the valve covers could merge there, then lead to the intake in one location, with the other former hose connection capped off.

This is surely a legitimate concern; when I removed my intake manifold, it was a lot like others I've seen... full of oil!

Got a link to the $60 one, fwiw?
