I have made myself a blanking plate for my PCV valve, i made a catch tank as well with no breather filter just as a place to collect the vapour. Basically I have copied the existing delete kits but when I put the blanking plate on tonight I blocked off the two pipes that would normally go to the catch tank while I wait to get silicone hose and the car just starting burning quite a fair amount of oil.
what am I missing here it seems a relatively simple breather system and I've seen people blank off the rocker cover with no catch tank is there another problem here? When it was running I quickly removed the dipstick to see if it caused issues and it seemed to be under pressure (it made a release of pressure noise)
Also if the system is meant to be pressurised then why do some people run filters on catch cans? I've always had the impression excess crankcase pressure is bad?
Here is the blanking plate am I missing anything obvious?
Hope this makes sense
Thanks
