The only time I've ever had milky oil in the catch tank is when I had a head
gasket on it's way out.

Subject: Re: [Fot] crankcase vent catch can
Hmm. Interesting.
I'm actually in the process of trying to give the Zippy Car more venting at
the top of the rockers and was going to copy the way I have it on the yellow
car.
I have a sealed tube that exits at the front of the valve cover and wraps
around the back to the other side where there is a tank (with a foam filter
inside) mounted to the where the stock fuel pump would go.
So I supposed it flowed towards below the back end of the camshaft
It never occurred to me that the oil could get wet or milky.
This has seemed to work well???
I can't say I have seen any evidence of moisture or poor oil color inside
the tank. .
Your comments have me now wondering if there may be a better way.
I'm willing to try something different so I would be interest in more info
on the topic of valve cover venting on the 6 Cylinder.
Thanks!

I'm from the school of thought that if oil gets blown out of the engine,
it's milky, full of condensation, and has no business going back into my
motor! If you are putting enough oil on the catch tank that you NEED to
drain it back into the motor, something is not right.
Brian, one cup of oil in the catch tank after running a Mosport weekend is
not a lot of oil. Think of the amount of time you had that throttle at WFO
over the course of the weekend... That's the beauty of Mosport!
