Catch can setup

Hey guys

 

I'm curious about catch can setups and trying to work out the best option to go for.

 

From what I see the most common option that people use is removing the pcv valve and running a hose directly to the catch can, and then running a hose from the front rocker cover breather to the catch can and venting catch can to atmosphere via a small air filter.

 

Now while this seems to be the most common setup I've seen I have recently been told that this setup can cause extra issues in the way of pushing seals (normally rear main) out fairly often and causing oil leaks, but that's the first time I had ever heard it. Can anyone comment on this? Any suggestions on the best possible setup to go for?

The idea of a vented can is to relieve any pressure build up, of the lines are decently sized you'll have no chance of blowing out seals.

It's when stock sized lines are used with high powered motors that you'll have issues.

Like arronm said theres alot of info around here on them.
