Hey all,

I know they catch extra blow-by of oil. I’ve seen them attached to the crank vent on the valve cover.

Can someone explain to me how they work and how they are riged to work on an engine (i.e. how to install?).

Thanks,

Andrew.

For our cars one tube from the valve cover to the can. And then the other form the Can back to the intake. From what I can see is that all the crap goes in the can like oil, but the fumes will go back in to the intake. What I did (its bad to have that stuff going through your turbo so I herd) was took a long tub and ran it so you know where it goes 🙂
