[Fot] crankcase vent catch can

[Peter Vucinic]

Brian,

You could simply be getting more from ‘extra’ oil now being in the rocker cover area as a direct result of the roller rockers. The rocker rockers will ‘bleed’ more oil than std bush rockers.

OK FOT mates

 

I'm almost afraid to ask.

 

Was draining the crankcase vent catch can last night on the GT6, has one event worth of oil in it (MOSPORT). wasn't very smart about draining it, wasn't expecting anything to speak of so just put a rag under it. Well, not too good at judging an oil mess on the floor, but guess it looks like maybe a good cup? This is more than I have had before, but this is a new catch can.

 

I have the vent from the valve cover and off a take off plate mounted from where the mechanical fuel pump both plumbed into the catch can.

 

 This seemed like a lot, and was more than typical, but I was running well and strong, hotter with new roller rockers (blah blah, sis boom bah)

 

Comments? Symptom of?

 

Thanks - will be at PittRace in about 24hrs, but do't want a major fail from ignorance/inexperiance
