[Fot] crankcase vent catch can

[Jason Ostrowski]

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!
