Default A little PVC for that PCV

Recently, I have been interested in oil catch cans through the PCV line. Some of the aftermarket kits were about $120, so after adventuring through home depot I finally crafted my own catch can. Its a 2" diameter canister with a brass nozzle on top and one on the side. The totall project costed about $35, probably could be cheaper if I had planned it our from the start. If any one is interested in making their own PVC catch can, I will gladly get some pics and do a write up. After 100 miles it has worked great!

Yes, people are interested in this. Write-up and pictures requested.

Let us know how much oil, in how much time, it collects.
