Default Eliminating Oil in Intake Manifold?

Would this be a great idea to incorporate to the crankcase breather hose to the AJ16 and AJ6 engines?

Wouldn't this help prolong the life of the TPC as well as keep the throttle body clean?

I have a V12, but I have removed the PCV in favour of a catch tank to air system. Much less oily sludge in the B bank airbox, better tickover interestingly, even though nothing much seems to come out of the PCV pipe. On the V12 there is a vacuum opened sprung valve arrangement between the airbox and the manifold PCV inlet, and I think that at low manifold depression this valve stays shut the PCV just dumps into the airbox. Not saying on the 6 cylinder car this is the same, just FWIW.

Ditch That PCV System Before It Is Too Late

that is so freaky as I have been looking into buying and doing this for about two weeks now...


making sure I got one with 3/4" in and out lets...


and it should be titled "PVC .... Catch Can if you can!"


though... if we look at our V12's it already has one incorporated.... and the stuff getting to out intake is because
I have not cleaned it in When? it is covered by this... see picture... and has an element that needs to be removed and cleaned every oil change... I am going to take mine out and clean it w Dawn... and place it back in...


I still am going to do the catch can thingy too though...

Yeah that elbow blew on mine, so I cleaned it out when replacing. It is like mesh with steel wool inside. Let it soak in some simple green, rinsed and then doused in wd40 to prevent flash rust.

I personally don't mind a little bit of oil on the air filter.

for the money and effort, installing a coolant filter is probably more beneficial.
