Having now seen the glorious oil-custard deposited in the catch can I must say that I'm rather glad it doesn't get recycled anywhere!

FFS.
Its only like that when water gets mixed with it from condensation building in the catch can from the warm oil.
KRL is confused. He is quoting references for what happens when the oil gets vented to the inlet manifold.
With either fix the oil doesnt get through the inlet, obviously, which stops carbon deposits building. But with the stage 1 fix, the oil goes nowhere apart from back into the engine through the other outlet to the sump. At this stage it is still JUST oil.

I am not confused LOL. With Stage 1 the oil does go back into the sump but still contains the vapors and gases from combustion. The catch can removes this entirely. Simples.

Gotcha! Cheers! :drinking:
No wonder - I've been running with it fully open. Very illogical design for doing things imo.

Actually..It's very logical...
if it is tightened against the can.... it will rattle undone and sit at the lowest point of it's thread.
If, however, it is "undone" fully to the bottom of it's thread... it's go nowhere to rattle undone to.
Make sense?

Combustion requires a mixture of Air and Fuel. If oil is leaking through the piston rings then so will a certain amount of vapors and gases from combustion.
