Dry oil separator on PVC circuit
When I first built the engine (351W) I placed a clear filter between the PCV and the carb to see if I was getting much blow-by. I noticed that I was getting a fair amount. So I purchased a Steeda Oil catch can and put it between the PCV and the carb.
However, ever since I installed the catch can, it has remained dry. No oil has collected at all. The PCV seems to work (it rattles and I can blow thru it) and I can suck air thru the catch can. Any ideas on why the Steeda is not collecting/separating the oil? Short of going back to the clear filter to see if it collects oil, any other way to test the Steeda? |
I'm very interested in the answer to this question

I don't know the answer to your question. I do know that I plumbed one of these:
Moroso 85474 Moroso Air & Oil Separator Tanks - Free Shipping on All Orders @ JEGS into my PCV line. It collects about 1 teaspoon of watery oil every 500 miles or so. I can't imagine it makes a hill of beans worth of difference. Just my experience. |
When the engines fresh.., there will be some blowby the rings until they seat........

Texas Doc, I might be mis-reading your post, but is there any condensation-puke in the catch tank you have now fitted? In theory it should all end up there now.

No, that's the point. I'm not getting any collection in the tank. I expected to get some as spf1061 notes above. I had some collecting when I had the clear filter in the PCV line.
