[Fot] crankcase vent catch can

[Jason Ostrowski]

Brian,
I have my vent catch tank set-up designed to allow the "vented oil" from
the catch can to gravity feed back down into the main oil galley. There are
a few different ways to do that and it works good. It makes the venting
more effective due to the circular flow and the oil is not lost, never
needs to be drained and stays in the motor to be used.
Good luck.
