oil catch Can
Well once you have 285K on the odometer you start to get some blowbye
well its not so bad, but I do get oil on the air filter, and it bothers the hell out of me. so I initially installed a little filter for an air compressor, well it started to over-pressurize and oil would squirt out of the hose connection and spit out onto the intake and exhaust manifold. so it would smoke like crazy and my Fiancee wouldnt like it because of the smell
So I finally decided to take care of it
I got an idea to use one of those little paint cans from the local home improvement store and some fittings
Anyways here is the can and the mods I made and the final construction

the biggest change so far, is that I dont get the burnt oil smell anymore, I just put it on last night, so we will see how much of a difference it makes, Im hoping to see a big change in my fuel mileage considering I did this and the injector change this weekend
