[Shotimes] PCV catch can

[Robert Bruce]

Far better to collect it than to allow it to varnish up the intake.  Wonder
if this helps prolong the life of the cats and O2 sensors.

Yes it easily burnt off and there was very little water in it.  I drove
about 800 miles at interstate speeds and spent the day at the drags.  I feel
the location of the can and the fact the flow through it is limited by the
sealed valve cover hoses is contributing to the large amount of liquid.  But
this is a good thing no?
