goin to be breaking in a motor!!!???s

Well im goin to break in a new rebuilt ls2 and wondering if a catch can would effect the break in of the rings since it catchs most of the oil going back the cylinders. Should i leave it stock til break in period or would it be fine to keep the aftermarket on it please let me know your theory or opinion.

WHAT????? The catch can is to get what ever gets by the PCV system and should have no effect on engine oil level. If it does then there is a serious issue

i think he means the small amounts of oil that enters the intake. may cause some upper cylinder lubrication, if he takes that away(if that actually happens) will it hurt it?
