Self-Circulating catch can.

Self-Circulating catch can.

here is my design for a Self-Circulating catch can. this was designed with my friends LS1 in mind, but it could work on any engine, including SBC...

the only downside to using this is the loss of your low oil sensor. (or in the case of 3rdgens, tapping a second hole in the oil pan.)

basicly, the air/oil mist is seperated by a stainess steel mesh, much like other catch cans. the diff is, the bottom of this can actually has a one way valve, that allows the oil to drain back into the pan once the engine is off.



im open to comments and suggestions on the idea.. im building the first prototype right now in my spare time.

here is a image of the catch can
