Thoughts on CCV?

Kind of on subject, what do you guys think about re-purposing an old oil bath air cleaner for a catch can? Maybe not for this project, but something more "rat rod" like.

That could work well I think. Maybe even for catching oil and venting to the turbo intake. I think I would put a electric valve on the bottom of the oil cup, so it could drain back to the pan when the ignition is off.

Isnt an oil bath filter almost exactly what I described at the end of post #4?

Pretty close, though a air filter canister is packed with a steel wool type material to help pick up oil.

I don't think pre-filling it with oil would do you any good.

Does sound similar! Probably what made me think of it, guess I was just thinking something that could be slightly modified to work, versus a fully fabricated piece. In my mind, run the venting reverse of original flow, the filtering media should strip most of the oil, the possibly add some sort of baffle or something to the original inlet, so it doesn't take anything from the cup up and out, like a small screen or two. Just what popped into my head.

You could also pack the outlet pipe with steel wool to help pick up oil.
