Interesting oil consumption issue

[evillecutter]

any wiring on it or is it just the tubes and canister? and wouldnt we lost the same amount of oil if the canister is just accumulating and saving what would have been burnt off?i was under the assumption that it would reuse the oil so we dont lose it...

Nope, nope, & nope. Strike 3

No wiring, the canister just replaces the PCV.

The thought was that since our PCV tends to get all wonky, the canister would serve the same purpose as the PCV without clogging. Positive pressure in the valve covers would cause all kinds of leaks (more consumption) whenever the PCV is clogged. The canister should just collect the liquid oil & still allow the gasses to get to the combustion chamber.

There's no automatic return from the canister to the valve cover. If'n you want to pour it back in yerself, I won't tell nobody.

Mebbe Ldub can splain it better'n me since he's been running his for a year or 2 now.
