[Shotimes] Intake Goo

[Paul Nimz]

My catch can on the V8 is more a condenser can.  It still uses the engine
vacuum to ventilate the crankcase but the  blow by gasses will condense.  I
have a nifty drain cock on the bottom that I drain once a week.  I get about
200ml of yellow gunk once a week from it.  And this is with a sealed to the
atmosphere crankcase.  If I left the fresh air make-up hose attached I get
double that amount.  Most of the increase is water.

if you have the bucks..... www.condensator.com
